Doubling the force during an orthodontic procedure would do what to the moment?

Double

During an orthodontic procedure, doubling the force would result in a doubling of the moment. This is because moment is directly proportional to the force applied and the distance from the pivot point. Therefore, tripling the force would result in a tripling of the moment, and halving or having no effect on the force would also have the same effect on the moment. Option B and D are incorrect because they suggest a decrease or no change in the moment, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because it suggests a tripling of the moment, when in fact it would only double.
