The twisting force an object exerts on a see-saw is called torque (τ). How do you think the torque depends on the distance of object a from the fulcrum?

Respuesta :

The torque produced is given by:

[tex]$\tau=r \times F=r F \sin \theta$[/tex]

- The SI unit of torque is [tex]$\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{m}$[/tex]

The cross product of a force and a distance perpendicular to a rotational axis is torque.

The perpendicular distance between a fixed point and the force's path of action is known as the moment arm of a force system.

So torque is dependent on both force and moment arm.

What is torque?

  • The force that may cause an item to revolve along an axis is measured as torque.
  • Similar to how force accelerates an item in linear kinematics, torque accelerates an object in an angular direction. A vector quantity is a torque.
  • The torque is the product of the force acting on a lever and the distance from the lever's fulcrum. For instance, the torque produced by three newtons of force applied two meters from the fulcrum is equal to one newton of force applied six meters from the fulcrum.
