Physics, Torque (1 of 13) An Explanation

Explains what torque is, the definition, how it is described and the metric units. Also presented are two examples of how to calculate the torque produced by a force. Torque is a turning force. It is a measure of how much force acting on an object that causes the object to rotate. The object will rotate about an axis, which is called the pivot point. The distance from the pivot point to the point where the force acts is called the moment arm or the lever arm. This distance is labeled with the letter r. Note that the distance r is also a vector, and points from the axis of rotation to the point where the force acts. The force is labeled with the letter F.
