Ahh it is still kinda difficult to understand... so, you are saying that the torque vector represents torque, but nothing is actually going on in that direction, and it is used when you have more torques and you need to calculate the resulting force? p.s. I'm sorry for my bad english, I hope...

So yeah, I understand that you can calculate torque as F*d, and you get a "number". But when you calculate a cross product of torque, r x F, what does that actually give you? It is a vector, perpendicular to F and r, but what "is" that? I mean, is it like an axis around which the object is...

Hi, I'm a new student in mechanical engineering so I decided to make an account because from what I see, I will be having a lot of questions :D
