◾️What is meant by torque?
Torque, moment, moment of force, rotational force or "turning effect" is the rotational equivalent of linear force. The concept originated with the studies by Archimedes of the usage of levers. Just as a linear force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object around a specific axis.
- In SI base units: kg⋅m2⋅s−2
- Other units: pound-force-feet, lbf⋅inch, ozf⋅in
- Dimension: M L2T−2
- SI unit: newton metres
Formula:-
T= torque
r= radius
F=force
theta= angle between F and the lever arm.
