Finding the Mass of a Metre Rule
Image:Rule.JPG This clip shows how the mass of a metre rule can be determined by using moments. It is a very simple experiment that you can easily try out yourself.

The Suspended Beam
Image:Beam.jpg In this clip the forces acting on a suspended beam are calculated using moments. The results are also confirmed by looking at the readings on two force meters.
