Introduction to torque:

What is torque?

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis, it is a vector quantity, therefore, the direction of the torque vector depends on the direction of the force on the axis.






TikTok Problem 7:

A device for exercising the upper leg muscle is shown in the figure, together with a schematic representation of an equivalent lever system. Calculate the force exerted by the upper leg muscle to lift the mass at a constant speed – meaning accelerations are const and no net force or no net torque . Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium in finding Fm
