A moment can be anywhere from a few seconds, up to a minute. Generally, a moment is defined as a point in time lasting from 1-3 seconds.
In Old English, a moment was an exact measurement of time being 1.5 seconds or 1/40th of one minute. However, in more modern English usage it has simply meant an inexact and brief length of time.

SteveWell. I have heard 2 answers, both are similar.
The first was that a Moment is a medieval measurement of time being 1/40 of an hour, or 90 seconds, (1.5 Minutes).
But the second one was that it is 1/40 of a minute or 1.5 seconds.
Both seem reasonable but I also heard that it has to do with an angular measurement.
Perhaps it is the amount of time it takes for the earth to rotate x number of degrees?.

Relation between tensile stressbending moment and section of modulus?
The relation between bending moment and the second moment of area of the cross-section and the stress at a distance y from the neutral axis is stress=bending moment * y / moment of inertia of the beam cross-section
Mass moment of inertia of a flywheel?
define moment of inertia§ I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the center of rotation. The moment of inertia is the measure of resistance to torque applied on a spinning object (i.e. the higher the moment of inertia, the slower it will spin after being applied a given force).
Where does point of contraflexure occurs?
it occur where moment becomes zero in bending moment diagram.
What is the definition of Bending Moment?
The internal moment that tends to want a beam to bend around the center axis
What do you mean bu equivalent shear force and equivalent bending moment?
MAXIMUM SHEAR force bending moment is zero shear force change inside is called bending moment
