Understanding Torque

What is Torque?

Torque is the rotational equivalent of force. It measures how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.

Key Applications

  • Engine specifications (engine torque determines acceleration)
  • Wrenches and fasteners (tightening bolts to specific torque values)
  • Bicycles and gears (calculating mechanical advantage)
  • Motors and turbines (power transmission systems)

Real-World Example

A wrench with a handle 0.3 m long requires 100 N of force to produce 30 N·m of torque. A longer wrench requires less force for the same torque.
