moment arm

This distance between the lines of action of the two forces is called the moment arm.

Your joints are supposed to expand, to offer a larger moment arm for the muscles.

The joint moment arm is usually maximised at mid range also.

A few things to stow that have been weighed and their moment arms calculated.

This allows the foot to remain in contact with the ground for longer amount of time while decreasing the moment arm.

In this concept the moment arm, the distance from the axis of rotation, plays an important role.

This imaginary lever is known as the moment arm.

A larger moment arm reduces the force needed to rotate a pulley.

However, the supraspinatus is more effective for general shoulder abduction because of its moment arm.

This leverage is a product of moment arm from the center of mass and surface area.

This decreases the moment arm and the spring will offer a greater spring resistance.

A spade works in the same manner as a horn but is more efficient due to the longer moment arm.

The moment arm of the elevator will also be reduced, which makes it more difficult to recover from a stalled condition.

But its effects would decrease with increasing moment arm, that is, with larger structures.

As the joint angle moved increasingly away from the neutral axis, the magnitude of the moment arms also increased.

To offset this effect, the skis had evolved to be much shorter, reducing the moment arm.

To compensate for the reduced moment arm, it has a larger vertical stabiliser.

Its joints became enlarged, offering a larger moment arm to the muscles, increasing their strength.

The construction of the "moment arm" is shown in the figure to the right, along with the vectors r and F mentioned above.

This is because the moment arm is longer, not because of gravitational forces.

The extra wing area also required more stability, so the tail was lengthened to provide a longer moment arm.

The relatively shorter masticatory moment arms of the more omnivorous–insectivorous grey fox should increase bite speed.

As a general rule, the larger the moment arm of a muscle, the greater torque it can produce with the same amount of force.

The distance from this axis to the sprung center of gravity height is the roll moment arm length.

The solution was simply to make the ski considerably shorter, reducing the moment arm and counteracting these effects.
