What does a second order moment refer to?

tipping
torque
center of rotation
proper angulation

The correct answer is: tipping

A second order moment refers to the tendency of an object to tip over when a force is applied. This moment is dependent on the object's mass and its distance from its pivot point. Torque, center of rotation, and proper angulation are all related to the concept of moment, but they refer to different aspects and are not considered second order moments. Torque is the rotational force applied to an object, center of rotation is the point around which an object rotates, and proper angulation refers to the precise arrangement of an object for optimal rotation or balance. Therefore, they are all incorrect options for a second order moment.
