Note
One spelling covers several quite different kinds of plural. In everyday use, moments are short stretches or single points of time: a few moments, the best moments of a trip. In mechanics the word is short for moments of force, the turning effects of forces taken about a point or axis. Historians also use it for a fixed unit, a set fraction of an hour. Context decides which count is meant.
