Torque Made Easy The Rotational Version of Force

In this video, Dr. Jacob Hudis clearly explains the concept of torque in physics, making this crucial topic easy to understand in under 8 minutes. You'll learn what torque is, how to calculate it, and why it's essential in rotational motion. This video includes several example problems that are perfect for students studying rotational force, lever arms, and Newton’s second law for rotation. Whether you're in high school physics, AP Physics 1, or just need a solid refresher on torque and rotational motion, this short lesson will help you understand: What torque means and how it's different from force How torque depends on the force and the distance from the pivot point (moment arm) Why torque causes objects to rotate Real-world examples and step-by-step solutions This video is part of my physics problem-solving series and is great for students preparing for AP exams or college-level physics courses. I use a few images from sources under the Wikipedia Commons License to help illustrate the concepts visually. 🔧 Topics Covered (Search Keywords): torque physics explained, what is torque, rotational motion, torque examples, rotational force, physics for beginners, moment arm, lever arm, torque equation, physics tutoring, AP Physics 1, rotational kinematics, physics made simple, high school physics help 🎓 Need Help With Physics or Math?
