Torque is the measure of the turning force applied to an object.
What is the formula for torque?
Torque = Force x Distance x sin(theta)
What is rotational statics?
Rotational statics is the study of objects that are in rotational equilibrium.
What is the condition for static equilibrium in rotational motion?
The sum of the torques acting on an object must be zero.
What is the unit of torque?
The unit of torque is Newton-meter (Nm).
What is the lever arm in torque?
The lever arm is the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the line of action of the force.
What is the relation between torque and angular acceleration?
Torque is equal to the moment of inertia times the angular acceleration.
What is the moment of inertia?
Moment of inertia is the measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion.
What is the center of mass?
The center of mass is a position defined relative to an object or system of objects.
What is the net torque on an object in rotational equilibrium?
The net torque on an object in rotational equilibrium is zero.
What is the principle of moments?
The principle of moments states that for an object in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moments about any point is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point.
What is the direction of torque?
Torque can be positive or negative, depending on the direction of rotation.
What is the condition for translational equilibrium?
The sum of the forces acting on an object must be zero.
What is the definition of rotational motion?
Rotational motion is the motion of a body in which every point of the body moves in a circle about a fixed axis of rotation.
What are some applications of torque in everyday life?
Examples include opening a door, using a wrench, and turning a steering wheel.
