Answer:

Therefore torque is equal to product of radial distance and transverse component of force. Therefore, torque is equal to product magnitude of force and perpendicular distance of line of action of force from the axis of rotation. From a uniform disk of radius R, a circular hole of radius R/2 is cut out.

In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force.[1] It is also referred to as the moment, moment of force, rotational force or turning effect, depending on the field of study. 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. Another definition of torque is the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of a force from the axis of rotation. The symbol for torque is typically {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\tau }}}, the lowercase Greek letter tau. When being referred to as moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M.In three dimensions, the torque is a pseudovector; for point particles, it is given by the cross product of the position vector (distance vector) and the force vector. The magnitude of torque of a rigid body depends on three quantities: the force applied, the lever arm vector[2] connecting the point about which the torque is being measured to the point of force application, and the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. In symbols:

{\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\tau }}=\mathbf {r} \times \mathbf {F} \,\!}{\displaystyle \tau =\|\mathbf {r} \|\,\|\mathbf {F} \|\sin \theta \,\!}

where

{\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\tau }}} is the torque vector and {\displaystyle \tau } is the magnitude of the torque,r is the position vector (a vector from the point about which the torque is being measured to the point where the force is applied)F is the force vector,× denotes the cross product, which produces a vector that is perpendicular to both r and Ffollowing the right-hand rule,{\displaystyle \theta } is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm vector.

The SI unit for torque is the Newton-metre (N⋅m). For more on the units of torque, see Units.

Torque has the dimension of force times distance, symbolically L2MT−2. Official SI literature suggests using the unit newton metre (N⋅m).[9] The unit newton metre is properly denoted N⋅m.[10]

The SI unit for energy or work is the joule.

The traditional Imperial and U.S. customary units for torque are pound feet (lb-ft) or for small values inch pound (in-lb).
