KEY KNOWLEDGE
OUTCOME
By the end of this lesson you will be able to describe and apply torque and turning force to analyse rotational motion and equilibrium
Torque describes how a perpendicular force will cause a turning motion. It is measured using the relationship
ℸ = r × F⊥
where the distance r and the force are acting perpendicular to each other.
What is Torque and how is it different from a Force?
How do you calculate Torque
