The frictional force between the feet and the ground needs to generate the centripetal
acceleration to keep the runner on a circular track. However, since this force is not acting at the
center of gravity, it generates a net torque around the center of gravity. As a result, the runner
can readily become unbalanced.

What is the best way to define torque?
Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object about an axis. It is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance from the axis of rotation. In simpler terms, it represents the ability of a force to rotate an object around a fixed axis.
Does the fielder or runner have the right of way?

Why does a helicopter have two propellers?
The main rotor produces lift by re-directing the flow of air downward. Due to the torque created from spinning the main rotor, with just the main rotor the helicopter's fuselage (body) would rotate the opposite way until it reached a speed which was equal and opposite the torque/resistance. The tail rotor counteracts the torque on the main rotor by creating a similar re-direction of air. Therefore torque turns the aircraft one way and the tail rotors thrust turns it the other. To turn the opposite way as the blades rotate you simpily remove the tail rotor thrust. All helicopters need some means of generating this counter-force. There is a "Notar" (No Tail Rotor) which uses the Coanda effect to produce the counter-force.
