In order for a force to produce a torque, either all of it, or a part of it (component) must act perpendicular to the moment arm. If, as in your case, all of the force is parallel to the moment arm then the force can not produce a torque. So the answer is; the torque is zero.

What is the s.i unit of torque?

Joule , the energy unit is the unit for Torque. Torque is vector energy.AnswerThe SI unit for torque is the newton metre(N.m). This should not be confused with the joule (which is a special name for a newton metre), the SI unit for work.With torque, the force (in newtons) acts at right angles to a radius (in metres) to produce a turning moment. With work, the force (in newtons) acts in the same direction as distance travelled (in metres).To calculate the work done by a given torque, it's necessary to multiply the force by the circumference through which the force acts.


What is the English unit equivalent of Newton meters?

It's a newton-metre, folks. A newton meter or N·m is the SI measurement of torque. Another measurement of torque is pounds foot of torque. A newton meter can also be a measurement of energy, and is the energy required to lift a one Newton weight one meter against earth's gravity that is to say above the ground. This means that a newton meter has exactly the same energy as a Joule.


What is the difference between a Newton and a Newton Meter?

A Newton meter is a device that measures force. The simple ones that you typically see in high school laboratories use a spring that stretches or is compressed as a force is applied. They have an indicator needle that shows how much force is applied. See link below for a picture. More sophisticated ones typically use load cells to more accurately measure the force. Some people believe they were invented by Isaac newton but this is not the case. The SI unit of force is called a Newton in his honor. Since these meters measure force they are named after this unit. There is sometimes confusion with a Newton Meter (note different spelling) which is the SI unit of torque. (Turning force.)


Torque and work is a product of force and distance.Yet torque and work are different.What is it about the distances that makes the torque and work different?

Torque describes a rotational force, caused by a force acting at right-angles to the radius of rotation. To measure torque, we multiply the force, in newtons, by the radius of rotation in metres -so, torque is measured in newton metres (N.m).Work is measured by multiplying the force on an object by the distance through which it moves, and is measured in joules (J).The work done by force of torque (not by torque) is determined by multiplying the force, not by the radius of rotation, but by the distance the force acts around the circumference of rotation. So, if torque causes a complete rotation, then the work done by that torque will be the force times (2 pi r).One joule is equal to one newton-meter. It is a measure of work or energy.Torque can be expressed in joules (J), but they really mean joules per radian. They're talking about the amount of work this torque is capable of doing for each radian of rotation. When using radian measure mention of radian is often left out, as in this case.


What 2 things does the moment of a force depend on?

What two factors must be known in order to calculate the moment of a force? Torque = Force * distance Torque and distance must be perpendicular to each other If not you must determine the portion of the torque that is perpendicular.

What is the difference between torque and couple?

The turning effect of a force is called torque or moment of the force. SI unit of torque is Newton-Metre. T = FL i.e Torque = Force x Moment arm A couple is formed by two unlike parallel forces of the same magnitude but not along the same line.

Why does a bar magnet placed in S-N direction turn towards N-S direction when torque acting on it is zero?

If the bar magnet turned then there was a torque acting upon it. Torque is defined as a turning force or moment.


Is angular acceleration proportional or inversely proportional to torque?

Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).
