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 symbol for torque is the lowercase Greek letter tau, . F is the force causing the torque. The equation is sometimes given as !τ = ! ! r⊥F. ! ! ! • is called the “moment arm” or “lever arm” and r⊥ r⊥ = rsinθ. ! r is the position vector from the axis of rotation to where the force is applied to the object.
Torque is the twisting force that tends to cause rotation. It is the measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. Visit to learn how to calculate torque along with its formula, meaning and applications.
Calculating torque (1) Choose a sign convention (e.g. anti-clockwise +ve), then decide in which direction force is pulling or pushing lever. Write that sign in front of your answer. Method 1: If you're given r and θ, use formula for torque (magnitude) τ = r F sinθ (Note: sinθ = sinφ, ∴ it doesn’t matter which angle you use)
Translational and Rotational motion are demonstrated and reviewed. Torque is introduced via the equation and several door opening demonstrations. Moment arm or lever arm is defined and illustrated.
LEVER ARM: The lever arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action. Finding the lever arm is usually one of the hardest parts of torque problems. Start by finding ‘r’, which is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied.
