Question

Explain what is torque with examples. please explain briefly for beginners ?

Answer 1

DEFINITION -

torque is the turning effect of the body.

torque is the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of force from the axis of rotation.

==============================

FACTORS ON WHICH TORQUE DEPENDS-

1) magnitude of force - directly proportional.

2)perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation - directly proportional

==============================

MATHEMATICAL FORMULA -

Torque = force x distance

==============================

UNIT -

torque is a vector quantity

its SI unit is Nm

N = unit of force
m = unit of distance.
