If a problem asks for the force of torque that will stop something from rotating that will be equal(?) to the amount of torque implied in the problem?
The problem is probably asking for the torque of a force required to stop the object from rotating. Think about Newton's laws. What must be the sum of all torques in order for there to be no rotation?Frostfire said:If a problem asks for the force of torque that will stop something from rotating that will be equal(?) to the amount of torque implied in the problem?
Torque is a measure of the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. It is typically measured in units of Newton-meters (N*m) or foot-pounds (ft-lb).
Torque is a rotational force, while force is a linear force. Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis, while force is the push or pull that causes an object to move in a straight line.
The factors that affect torque include the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied (known as the lever arm), the magnitude of the force, and the direction of the force.
Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied. The formula is: torque = force x lever arm.
Torque is used in many real-world applications, including car engines, bicycles, and wrenches. It is also important in the fields of engineering, physics, and mechanics, and is used to measure the power of motors and engines.
