What to Focus On

  • Force can change motion, speed, direction, size, or shape.
  • A force does not change mass.
  • Force is shown by an arrow with magnitude and direction.

  • Moment of force is the turning effect of force.
  • It depends on force and perpendicular distance from the pivot.
  • Formula: Moment of force = F × OP.

  • Thrust acts perpendicular to a surface.
  • Pressure = Thrust / Area.
  • S.I. unit of pressure is pascal (Pa).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Force changes the mass of a body.

The bigger the force, the bigger the pressure, no matter how large the area is.

Thrust and pressure mean the same thing.

Memory Tips

Force changes motion, speed, direction, size, or shape

A force does not change mass

Force is represented by an arrow

Newton is the SI unit of force
