@Robert Thanks for the clarification. I understand.
Robert Carter Sep 20, 2016:
@Muriel Don't be fooled by those enormous numbers. Always check the rest of the pages or at least the last page of your Google search, especially with a number like 124 million. It will give you the actual number of hits. In this case it's only 57, look

moment of a pair I'd like to change my response to 'moment of a pair' - While Google can't always be trusted, 124,000,000 hits is quite impressive.

Moment of a couple

As referenced previously:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)

Moment and Torque refer to the same thing. I would use Moment
Peer comment(s):

agree Neil Ashby : Given the context (the list with things like "Momento de una fuerza con respecto a un punto.") I'd go with this one. Torque is more for engineering.
1 hr
agree Robert Carter : According to your reference, in this case they don't refer to the same thing: "The resultant moment of a couple is called a torque. This is not to be confused with the term torque as it is used in physics, where it is merely a synonym of moment."

Granted. "Torque is a special case of moment".

Peer comment(s):

neutral bigedsenior : how do you referneces re sub-atomic particles square with architectural design?
1 hr
Momentum is momentum at any level, is it not? It's the momentum of a pair of objects. This is not about architectural design; it's about kinematics.
neutral Neil Ashby : Never heard the expression "moment of a pair of objects", not even used when defining moment and torque.

I can't understand why. There are endless hits on the Internet, all in relation to torque.

Moment of a couple

Not my area at all, but these Wikipedia entries do appear to be fairly equivalent.

Couple

In mechanics, a couple is a system of forces with a resultant (a.k.a. net or sum) moment but no resultant force.[1] A better term is force couple or pure moment. Its effect is to create rotation without translation, or more generally without any acceleration of the centre of mass. In rigid body mechanics, force couples are free vectors, meaning their effects on a body are independent of the point of application.

The resultant moment of a couple is called a torque. This is not to be confused with the term torque as it is used in physics, where it is merely a synonym of moment. Instead, torque is a special case of moment. Torque has special properties that moment does not have, in particular the property of being independent of reference point, as described below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)


Par de fuerzas

Momento de un par de fuerzas.
Par de fuerzas es un sistema formado por dos fuerzas paralelas entre sí, de la misma intensidad o módulo., pero de sentidos contrarios.

Al aplicar un par de fuerzas a un cuerpo se produce una rotación o una torsión. La magnitud de la rotación depende del valor de las fuerzas que forman el par y de la distancia entre ambas, llamada brazo del par.

Un par de fuerzas queda caracterizado por su momento. El momento de un par de fuerzas, M, es una magnitud vectorial que tiene por módulo el producto de cualquiera de . las fuerzas por la distancia (perpendicular) entre ellas d.
