Torque is basically the equivalent of a force, for rotational movement. It always involves a force, but torque also depends on how far you push or pull, from the axis of rotation. A torque has units of force x distance (for example, in SI units, newton x meters). Thus, a force of 100 N at 1 meter from the axis of rotation (100 N-m) has the same effect (the same torque) as a force of 50 N at 2 meter (also 100 N-m).
What else can I help you with?
Rotating force about the fulcrum is called?
The rotational equivalent of a force is a torque. Note, however, that a torque is no longer a force - it is a force multiplied by a distance.
Is there any torque if force is zero?
NO. not at all b/c torque is directly related to force
What do you call the turning effect of a force?
The turning effect of a force is called torque. Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis.
Is torque a force and how does it relate to the concept of force in physics?
Torque is not a force itself, but it is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. In physics, torque is related to force through the concept of leverage and the distance from the point of rotation. The greater the torque applied, the greater the rotational force exerted on an object.
Can a force produce a torque when there is no lever arm?
no because to get a torque you must multiply lever arm by force. If lever is zero, then torque is zero
Can a torque be balanced by a single force?
The effect of a torque is to produce angular acceleration and that of the force is to produce linear acceleration. Since the effects of both torque and force are entirely different, therefore, a torque cannot be balanced by a single force.
Rotating force about the fulcrum is called?

How do you compute the torque exerted by a force?
Torque is Force you silly duffa
What is the torque force if you are turning a wrench that is 55cm long and you are using 15N of force?
torque = force * lever length torque = 15 * 55 torque = 825 n-cms
How is torque different from other forces?
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 rotatedCentripetal 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.
Is 150 pound-feet of torque much different from 100 pound-feet?
for a given lever length the force is (150 / 100) times greater torque = force (pounds) * lever length (feet)

Can a force produce a torque when there is no lever arm?
no because to get a torque you must multiply lever arm by force. If lever is zero, then torque is zero
What is the product of force and its lever distance called?
The product of force and its lever distance is called torque. Torque describes the rotational effect of a force applied to an object.
Is torque a true force?
Torque is the combination of perpendicular distance and weight; it is not a true force
