Torque, also called moment or moment of force, is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis,fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist.In more basic terms, torque measures how hard something is rotated
Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved, as opposed to straight, path; it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.

∙ 8y agoFor a start, a torque is NOT a force, so you really can't compare it with "other" forces. A torque is the product of a force and a distance.

Do internal forces which are equal and opposite to each other exert torque?
Yes. Since torque is F x R, even if two forces are equal and opposite they point where they are applied may lie at different distances from the axis of rotation thus resulting in a net torque.
If Two forces have the same magnitude will they produce the same amount of torque when they are applied to an object?
The two forces will produce the same torque if : R1xF1 = R2xF2; r1f1sin(R1F1) = r2f2sin(R2F2). The magnitude of the forces can be the same (f1=f2=f) but their angles with the the displacement (R) can be different, r1fsin(R1F1) = r2fsin(R2F2),and the torque will be the same. Torque is the vector product of the force and displacement.
How is science involve in freestyle skiing?
the force of torque by spining and other forces involved in a flip rotation or moguls
When is net force zero but torque is not?
When two forces acting on the same wheel are equal and opposite but applied at different points on the rim.
What is resultant torque of a couple?
if like parallel forces and unlike parallel forces acts on body at same time what is their resultant force and resultant torque
What are non-forces?
the non fundamental forces are Tension,Torque,Elastic,Normal,Gravity,Friction.
How do you convert angular rotation into force?
You create a purely 'rotatory force' or torque when you have two forces of equal magnitude but opposite direction pushing or pulling on an object. The greater the forces the greater the torque, and the greater the perpendicular distances between the two forces the greater the torque. Note that because the forces are equal and opposite, the object will not accelerate in any direction. But because there is a perpendicular distance between the forces the object will start to rotate.
Different forces are applied to two different objects that have the same s what will happen?
when different forces are applied to two different objects of same s the force with the most energy will push the other object
Why is torque potential energy and why?
The way I understand it, torque is unrelated to energy, despite the fact that torque and energy happen to have the same dimensions, namely force x distance (in units: newton x meters). In other words, torque is not an energy; it is a different kind of measurement.
Other than the magnitude - What is a fundamental difference between the two forces?
I can't see them from here, but other than magnitude, the only other thing about two forces that can be different is their direction.
Can different forces of nature affect each other?
Some can, others cannot.
What is couple of forces?
Two equal, but oppositely directed forces acting simultaneously on opposite sides of an axis of rotation. Since the translatory forces (forces that produce linear motion) cancel out each other, a force couple produces torque (rotatory forces) only. The magnitude of the force couple is the sum of the products of each force and its moment arm.
