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.
