Mar 28, 2023 · The basic formula for torque is =, where torque is represented by the Greek letter tau (τ) and equals the force (F) times the distance (or radius, r). If you know the magnitude of the force (in Newtons) and the distance (in meters), you can solve for the torque, expressed in newton-meters (N∙m). [4]

Sep 12, 2022 · Describe how the magnitude of a torque depends on the magnitude of the lever arm and the angle the force vector makes with the lever arm. Determine the sign (positive or negative) of a torque using the right-hand rule. Calculate individual torques about a common axis and sum them to find the net torque.
An introduction to torque, a force that causes rotation. Understand how torque is calculated as the product of force and distance, and how it differs from work. Learn about the direction of torque and its units.
The magnitude of the torque due to force 2 is then: \[\tau_2=r_2F_{2,\perp}=(0.4m)(3.83N)=1.53~\textrm{Nm} onumber\] Using the right hand-rule, fingers point up and curl toward \(F_{2,\perp}\) in the clockwise direction resulting in the thumb pointing into the page. Thus, the torque due to \(\vec F_1\) points into the page.
Nov 25, 2023 · A Mathematical Model. Torque is the cross product between the distance vector, a vector from the point of pivot (A) to the point where the force is applied, and the force vector. The force vector, F →, is defined about a particular location.
Describe how the magnitude of a torque depends on the magnitude of the lever arm and the angle the force vector makes with the lever arm; Determine the sign (positive or negative) of a torque using the right-hand rule; Calculate individual torques about a common axis and sum them to find the net torque
The torque, specified with regard to the axis of rotation, is equal to the magnitude of the component of the force vector lying in the plane perpendicular to the axis, multiplied by the shortest distance between the axis and the direction of the force component.
