You can read the Wikipedia article on torque, look for other online articles about torque, or read a physics school book - look for the chapters about rotational movement. It is important that you first understand the physics of linear motion - especially Newton's laws of motion, since this is very similar, and physics books will most likely use linear motion as an analogy.
Briefly, the rotational equivalent of Newton's second law (F=ma) is:
(torque) = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration)
Torque is expressed in newton-meters, and it is the product of a force, times the distance from the axis of rotation (times an angle function, if the two are not at right angles). For example, less force at a greater distance, from the axis of rotation, can have the same effect.

What do learn in physics?
Roughly speaking, in physics you learn how our Universe, the world we live in, works.
Is there an easier way to learn physics subject?
physics is the study of nature .we learn physics through observation.the more u observe the more u learn.from lifting pen to starting ur scooter,everything is physics. There is a novel which has just been published which covers the fundamentals (and a bit more) of physics, which is supposed to do just what you're looking for - teach you physics in an easy and fun way! It's called 'Fizz', have a look of it's any good for you.
What can I learn in physics tutoring?
You can learn about the laws of motion, learn about different dimensions. It would include learning about gravity and properties of matter and much, much more.
Should you take chemistry or physics to go into the medical field for college?
Chemistry. It does more with chemicals and medicine/health solutions than physics. Physics is more math with things that move.
Why do pilots need physics?
If they don't learn physics they will vomit at the plane.
How do you use micro physics in a sentence?
Microphysics is a difficult field of physics to learn.
What is a physics amount?
Physics has its own vocabulary. One measurement in physics is the Dyne. Physics also deals with vectors, tension and torque. Common to other sciences, physics uses the standard metric measures of grams, liters and meters.
What would be do without physics?
We would learn more about nature and the physical universe, and probably think of another name.
Can torque have a negative value in physics?
Yes, torque can have a negative value in physics. Torque is vector energy. Torque is the vector analogue of Work involving force (F) and displacement (D) vectors and the angle (FD). For example Work W = -F.D= -|FD|cos(FD) and Toque T = FxD =|FD|sin(FD). Torque can be negative dependent on the sine(FD). Work and torque is an example of the quaternion nature of physics; for example Quaternion energy E = FD = -F.D + FxD, the real energy is called work F.D and the vector energy is called torque, FxD.
What did Albert Einstein learn?
He learned physics
What is the role of physics in our lives?
we can learn about friction
Why we need a physics tutor?
You can learn physics on your own if you want. Not everybody needs a physics tutor.
