Key Points
The moment of the force about the point O is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance to the line of action of the force from O.
Clockwise moments are negative.
Anti-clockwise moments are positive.
For the rectangular lamina shown below, find the total moment of the forces acting, about the corner marked O.
