18. Torque

Question 1

What does force look like in rotational motion?

Answer 1

something like Torque

Question 2

Define torque

Answer 2

TORQUE ( τ ): is the product of the radius from the pivot point and the Force Applied. The units for torque is “Nm,” and the counter clockwise direction is positive whilst the clockwise direction is negative.

The friction of torque acts opposite to the direction of motion.

Question 3

What are the equations for Torque?

Answer 3

1. τ = rF_⏊ or τ = rFsin
2. τ_NET = τ_Applied − τ_Friction OR ∑τ

Question 4

Define the friction for Torque

Answer 4

The friction for torque acts opposite to the direction of motion.
