What is the formula for calculating distance?
Learn how to find the distance between two points by using the distance formula, which is an application of the Pythagorean theorem. We can rewrite the Pythagorean theorem as d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²) to find the distance between any two points.
How do you find distance from moments?
moment = F x d
It is important to remember that the distance d is the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force (see diagram). A force of 15 N is applied to a door handle, 12 cm from the hinge.
