Question

Define torque show that torque is the vector product of force and position vector

Answer 1

Answer:

The vector or cross product is another way to combine two vectors; it creates a vector perpendicular to both it the originals. In vector form, torque is the cross product of the radius vector (from axis of rotation to point of application of force) and the force vector.

Answer 2

Answer:

turning effectin a body about a fixed point due to applied forces is called torque.

Explanation:

torque will be maximum when the angle between r and f is 90 (or 270) Torque wil be minimum when the angle between r and f is 0 (or 180)
