Torque (given force directed perpendicularly to the position of particle and arm length)
Formula
F
the amount of force directed perpendicularly to the position of the particle)
r
the distance from the axis of rotation to the particle
Formula description
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.
