'''Simpsonville''' is a suburb of [[Greenville, South Carolina|Greenville]] in [[Greenville County, South Carolina|Greenville County]], [[South Carolina]], [[United States]]. The population was 14,352 at the 2000 census. Simpsonville is part of the "Golden Strip", along with Mauldin and Fountain Inn, which is noted for having low unemployment due to a diversity of industries including Para-Chem, Kemet, and Milliken.

==Geography==

[[Image:SCMap-doton-Simpsonville.PNG|right|Location of Simpsonville, South Carolina]]

Simpsonville is located at {{coor dms|34|44|0|N|82|15|36|W|city}} (34.733375, -82.260001){{GR|1}}.

[[Image:Moment.png|right]]

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of 16.1 [[km²]] (6.2 [[square mile|mi²]]), all land.

In [[physics]], the '''moment of force''' (often just '''moment''', though there are other quantities of that name such as [[moment of inertia]]) is a quantity that represents the magnitude of [[force]] applied to a rotational system at a distance from the axis of rotation. The concept of the '''moment arm''', this characteristic distance, is key to the operation of the [[lever]], [[pulley]], [[gear]], and most other simple machines capable of generating [[mechanical advantage]]. The [[SI]] unit for moment is the [[newton meter]] (Nm).

==Demographics==

As of the [[census]]{{GR|2}} of 2000, there were 14,352 people, 5,391 households, and 4,021 families residing in the city. The [[population density]] was 890.9/km² (2,306.1/mi²). There were 5,636 housing units at an average density of 349.9/km² (905.6/mi²). The racial makeup of the city was 82.69% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 13.76% [[African American (U.S. Census)|African American]], 0.23% [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]], 0.79% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 0.04% [[Pacific Islander (U.S. Census)|Pacific Islander]], 1.23% from [[Race (United States Census)|other races]], and 1.27% from two or more races. [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] of any race were 4.65% of the population.

Moment = Magnitude of Force x Perpendicular distance to the pivot (Fd)

There were 5,391 households out of which 39.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 58.6% were [[Marriage|married couples]] living together, 11.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 25.4% were non-families. 20.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.66 and the average family size was 3.09.

== Overview ==

In the city the population was spread out with 28.4% under the age of 18, 8.2% from 18 to 24, 34.4% from 25 to 44, 21.6% from 45 to 64, and 7.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females there were 97.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 94.6 males.

In general, the (first) moment '''M''' of a [[vector (spatial)|vector]] '''B''' is

The median income for a household in the city was $47,223, and the median income for a family was $52,043. Males had a median income of $38,680 versus $26,394 for females. The [[per capita income]] for the city was $21,139. About 5.2% of families and 6.1% of the population were below the [[poverty line]], including 6.8% of those under age 18 and 6.1% of those age 65 or over.

==Government==

Simpsonville is governed by a [[Mayor]], a [[City Council]], and several boards and commissions. The current officeholders are:

where

'''City Council'''

* Mayor: Dennis C. Waldrop

* Council Ward I: Ronald Bridges

* Council Ward II: Darrell E. Curry

* Council Ward III: Geneva Lawrence

* Council Ward IV: Robert Gacy

* Council Ward V: Mike Zitricki

* Council Ward VI: Bruce Larson

:'''r''' is the position where quantity '''B''' is applied.

'''Board of Zoning Appeals'''

:&times; represents the [[cross product]] of the vectors.

* Al Dreiford, Chairman

* Joe Cuyar

* Ron Fowler

* Roxie Kincannon

* Mikelene Loe

* Roy Shelton

* Hans Wiegert

If '''r''' is a vector relative to point ''A'', then the moment is the "moment '''M''' with respect to the axis that goes through the point ''A''", or simply "moment '''M''' around ''A''". If ''A'' is the [[Origin (mathematics)|origin]], one often omits ''A'' and says simply ''moment''.

'''Planning Commission'''

* Ron Blair

* James Boyd

* Brown Garrett

* Donnie McDowell

* Dick Witkowski

* Karen Wright

== Parallel axis theorem ==

'''Election Commission'''

Since the moment is dependent on the given axis, the moment expression possess a common y,

== Related quantities ==

Some notable physical quantities arise from the application of moments:

* [[Angular momentum]] (<math> L = I \omega </math> ), the rotational analog of [[momentum]].

* [[Moment of inertia]] (<math>I = \sum m r^2</math>), which is analogous to [[mass]] in discussions of rotational motion.

* [[Torque]] (''τ = rF''), the rotational analog of [[force]].

* [[Magnetic moment]] (''μ = IA''), a [[dipole]] moment measuring the strength and direction of a magnetic source.

== History ==

The history of torques is very interesting.{{Fact|date=April 2007}} The principle of moments is derived from [[Archimedes]]' discovery of the operating principle of the [[lever]]. In the lever one applies a force, in his day most often human muscle, to an ''arm'', a beam of some sort. Archimedes noted that the amount of force applied to the object, the ''moment of force'', is defined as ''M = rF'', where ''F'' is the applied force, and ''r'' is the distance from the applied force to object.
