💭 Think About

• If you push a door at different spots, what factor changes how easily it turns? • In the formula for a rotational effect of a force, what quantity is multiplied by the size of the force? • Which option names a distance related to the pivot or axis, rather than an object or property?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice represents a distance from a pivot or axis • Eliminate options that are not distances (e.g., properties of bodies or types of force systems) • Recall that a moment (or torque) has units of force × distance
