After completing today's reading, exercises, and the associated homework you should be able to:
Define a moment in words and mathematically
Take the cross product (or vector product) of two vectors in 2-D and 3-D by
taking a formal cross product,
using "force times a perpendicular distance", and
breaking a force into components and calculating the contribution of each to the moment.
Note: Any term in bold is a key vocabulary term that you should be able to define, regardless of whether or not that is the specific learning objective.
