Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate the body to which it is applied.Torque is always specified with regard to the axis of rotation. It is equal to the magnitude of the component of the force lying in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, multiplied by the shortest distance between the axis and the direction of the force component. Torque is the force that affects rotational motion; the greater the torque, the greater the change in this motion.

Whereas,force is the agency that alters the direction, speed, or shape that a body would exhibit in the absence of any external influence.It is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. Force is commonly explained in terms of Newton's laws of motion. All known natural forces can be traced to the fundamental interactions. Force is measured in newtons (N).

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.

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.


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


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


What is the derivation of Torque and power equation of induction motor?

Torque is the cross product of radius and force .Torque is a twisting effect. Torque is the cross product of radius and force .Torque is a twisting effect.


How to find the torque of a gear?

To find the torque of a gear, you can use the formula: Torque Force x Distance. First, determine the force applied to the gear. Then, measure the distance from the point where the force is applied to the center of the gear. Multiply the force by the distance to calculate the torque.
