Well, we all know that the farther you move the point of force application from the point of rotation, the greater the torque. But why?
I know the equations, but I am lacking a physical explanation of why this is. The best explanation that I've gotten is something along the lines of a balancing act of work, whereby distance is traded off with force, but that explanation seems pretty half-arsed to me.
Any better explanations out there?
