    I Writing an equation for torque around an arbitrary point on a body

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, the point is fixed, and the background is not rotating

    I Writing an equation for torque around an arbitrary point on a body

    Apologies, suppose there is a frictionless rod through the point O, so the disc is only engaged in rotational motion.

    I Writing an equation for torque around an arbitrary point on a body

    Suppose there is a disc rotating around axis through its centre, with force F acting on the rim. The equation of torque is simple, however, what happens if it is written about an arbitrary point on the rim? How can the angular acceleration about that point be understood? Do I have to transition...
