Torque Definition
Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
Torque is what causes angular acceleration in an object about an axis. Hence, torque can be defined as the rotational equivalent of linear force.
Torque Formula
Mathematically torque is represented as
τ = Fr sin(θ)
Where,
- r is the length of the lever arm
- θ is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm.
