Torque is a force that is applied to a lever. (Imagine a rachet. As you tighten a bolt, you push on the handle, which is essentially a lever. This lever exerts torque on the bolt, causing it to spin) Torque is defined as T = r cross F, or just R X F. Basically, if you multiply the force by the distance of the force from the central point on the object you are trying to rotate, you have torque.

What is the equilibrium rule of torques?

The equilibrium rule of torques states that the sum of the torques acting on an object in rotational equilibrium must be zero. This means that the clockwise torques must balance out the counterclockwise torques for the object to remain stationary. Mathematically, this is expressed as ∑τ = 0, where ∑τ represents the sum of the torques.

When is an object in rotational equilibrium?

An object is in rotational equilibrium when the net torque acting on it is zero. This occurs when the clockwise torques are balanced by counterclockwise torques, resulting in no rotational acceleration.

Active torques are due to either gravitational force or deformation in elastic bodies passive torques are those due to friction or due to shear and deformation in inelastic bodies

Can an obeject be in equilibrium if the only torques acting on it produce clickwise rotation?

No, for an object to be in equilibrium, the net torque acting on it must be zero. If all torques are producing clockwise rotation, there will be a net torque causing the object to rotate in that direction, not in equilibrium.

What is the torx bolt size on a 1985 celebritys front brakes?

that my friend would be a t45 or a t50 dont know why they use 2 different sizes. But mine was the t50 but the mechanic that I talked to said that there are also ones that use the t45. its actually a t47 its a perfect very tight fit although its a very rare and special size you will probably have to order it as i did Autozone sells torques bit sets with the size needed and a torques size tester (not sure if name is correct), it is many red plastic pieces on a key ring and checks normal torques as well as internal torques sizes.


What screwdriver bits do you use on Montana light bulb?

The correct bits are called torques bits. Perhaps a 1.5 torques bit would be used to get to the tail light assembly. However, a regular Phillips screw would call for a #2 Phillips screw-driver.
