Torque vs Applied Force

सूत्र

## Torque (Moment of Force) Torque measures the tendency of a force to cause rotation about an axis. ### Formula **tau = F * r * sin(theta)** Maximum torque occurs when the force is perpendicular to the lever arm (theta = 90 degrees).

हल किया गया उदाहरण

A 50 N force is applied perpendicular to a 0.3 m wrench.

  1. 01tau = F * r * sin(theta)
  2. 02tau = 50 * 0.3 * sin(90°)
  3. 03tau = 50 * 0.3 * 1
  4. 04tau = 15 N·m

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What is the unit of torque?

In SI, torque is measured in newton-meters (N·m). Although dimensionally identical to joules, torque is not energy.

When is torque maximized?

Torque is maximized when the force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm (theta = 90°), because sin(90°) = 1.

How does torque relate to angular acceleration?

By Newton's second law for rotation: tau = I * alpha, where I is moment of inertia and alpha is angular acceleration.
