📌 What is Torque?
Torque is the measure of rotational force applied to an object. It is calculated using the formula:
Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (d)
It is measured in Newton-meters (Nm).
📌 Examples of Torque Calculation
Force (N) | Distance (m) | Torque (Nm) |
---|---|---|
50 | 2 | 100 |
75 | 1.5 | 112.5 |
100 | 3 | 300 |
❓ FAQs
Q1: How do I calculate torque?
✅ Torque is calculated by multiplying force (in Newtons) by the distance (in meters) from the pivot point. The formula is **τ = F × d**.
Q2: What units are used for torque?
✅ Torque is measured in **Newton-meters (Nm)** in the SI system. In other systems, it can be expressed as foot-pounds (ft-lb) or inch-pounds (in-lb).
Q3: Why is torque important?
✅ Torque is crucial in engineering, automotive, and physics applications. It determines how effectively a force can rotate an object, such as tightening bolts or driving gears.
Q4: How does torque relate to rotational motion?
✅ Torque directly affects an object’s angular acceleration. The greater the torque applied, the faster an object will rotate if all other factors remain constant.
Q5: What is the difference between torque and power?
✅ Torque measures the rotational force applied, while power is the rate at which work is done. Power is calculated as **Power = Torque × Angular Velocity**.
