What is torque in rotational motion?

Rotational equivalent of force

In the torque equation τ=rFsinθ\tau = rF \sin \theta, what does rr represent?

Distance from pivot to force point

What are the correct units for torque?

N m (newton-metres)

At what angle does maximum torque occur?

90°90° (perpendicular to lever arm)

When does applied force produce zero torque?

When force is parallel to lever arm

Using the right-hand rule, where does your thumb point?

Direction of torque vector τ\vec{\tau}

Why are longer spanner handles more effective?

They provide longer lever arm

What is the key difference between pivot point and axis of rotation?

Pivot is a point, axis is a line

A force of 80 N is applied perpendicular to a 0.4 m lever arm. What is the torque?

32 N m

If τ=50\tau = 50 N m, r=0.5r = 0.5 m, θ=30°\theta = 30°, what is FF? (Note: sin30°=0.5\sin 30° = 0.5)

200 N
