What is moment about zero?
A moment causes a rotation about a point or axis. If the moment is to be taken about a point due to a force F, then in order for a moment to develop, the line of action cannot pass through that point. If the line of action does go through that point, the moment is zero because the magnitude of the moment arm is zero.
What is the first moment about zero?
The first central moment is zero when defined with reference to the mean, so that centered moments may in effect be used to "correct" for a non-zero mean. Since "root mean square" standard deviation σ is the square root of the variance, it's also considered a "second moment" quantity.
What is the second moment about zero?
knowing that the second moment is zero implies zero variance. If the variance is zero then (with probability 1) the random variable X is constant (equal to E(X)).
What is zeroth order moment?
Moments describe how the probability mass of a random variable is distributed. The zeroth moment, total mass, quantifies the fact that all distribution's have a total mass of one. The first moment, the mean, specifies the distribution's location, shifting the center of mass left or right.
