What is the moment of a force?
The moment of a force about a point provides a measure of the
tendency for rotation, also known as torque.

What is the formula for the moment of a force in 2-D?
The moment of a force in 2-D is calculated as M = F * d, where
F is the force and d is the perpendicular distance from the
point to the line of action of the force.
What is the direction of the moment in 2-D?
In 2-D, the direction of the moment can be either clockwise
(CW) or counterclockwise (CCW), with counterclockwise
typically considered positive.
