If you choose a different reference point, the numbers for torque will be different. Calculations will still work out, though - but a reference point must be chosen, and used consistently.

Does angular momentum requires an inertial frame?

nope...itz not necessary that the frame should be inertial....the only necesarry condition is that the TOTAL EXTERNAL TORQUE acting ABOUT THE REFERENCE AXIS should be ZERO...


Why controlling torque is necessary in analog indicating instruments?

so that when damping torque=controlling torque,the pointer comes back to the zero position...i.e. the main role of controlling torque is to ensure to bring the pointer to the 0 position when deflecting torque is removed


What is the difference between breakaway torque and rotational torque?

Breakaway torque is the torque required to start the initial movement, in the loosening direction, of a bolt, screw, or nut from its (non−loaded) at rest position with the locking element engaged. Tightening torque is the torque necessary to move the bolt, screw, or nut along its threaded length in the tightening direction.


How much torque does a 350 have?

That would depend on the year and particular model 350, which you fail to mention. So I cannot answer your question.

Not usually. If necessary it says in manual.


How to convert angular torque in to linear torquewith Example..?

Firstly could you be so kind to explain to me what "linear torque" is. I'm pretty confident that torque = force x radius at which that force is applied, thus the term linear torque cannot exist. Also torque is simply the angular version of force, I'm going to take a stab at this and assume that what you really want to know is how to convert torque to force. Since the equation defining torque is T=FR, where T is torque, F is force and R is the radius at which that force is applied, then the force (by simple algebraic rearranging) is simply T/R.

Can a transmission from a Chevy 305 fit a Chevy 454?

Yes it will fit. bellhousing will fit but the torque converter will not bolt up to flex plate (flywheel) not to mention the trans cant handle the increased amount of torque with big block


Why is the moment of a couple a free vector?

A couple is a mechanical term defined as a system of forces that produces a resultant moment but not a resultant force. The moment caused by a couple is different than the moment caused by a single force. The moment of a force is dependent upon a reference point (i.e. if this reference point changes the moment also changes), therefore it is a fixed (or bound) vector. However, the moment (or torque) of a couple is independent of a reference point. In other words any reference point will give the same torque. This fact is proven in Varignon's Second Moment Thereom. Since the moment (or torque) of a couple is independent of a reference point, it may be represented as a free vector. This means that the vector may be freely moved in space.


Can a torque converter affect the success of rebuilding the transmission on a 1996 Chevy Blazer?

Yes. If you are going to remove the transmission to rebuild it, you may as well go ahead and replace the torque converter.. not to mention all the seals anywhere near that area.
