Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force, and it is pivotal in understanding how objects rotate. Calculating torque involves the product of the force applied and the distance from the point of rotation, considering the angle between the force and lever arm.

Torque Calculations

Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, which causes it to rotate around an axis or pivot point. It is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance from the point of rotation, with the direction of the torque determined by the right-hand rule.
