As we know all vectors with the same magnitude and direction are equal despite their different locations.so we can move the force vector such that
Now how will it produce torque?Please tell me where am i getting wrong?
The defintion of torque contains two vectors, not just the force vector.gracy said:Now how will it produce torque?
here it implies this system containing two vectors!gracy said:Now how will it produce torque?
Look up the defintion of torque. What vectors are there?gracy said:But other force vector is also there ,there are two vectors!
You cannot move force vectors like that. Where did you learn that you could?gracy said:Please tell me where am i getting wrong?
Sorry,but I did not understand.DaleSpam said:You can replace a force vector with another force vector and a couple.
Kindly look atDaleSpam said:You cannot move force vectors like that. Where did you learn that you could?
Kindly look at the defintion of torque. It involves what is called "tail" in your reference.gracy said:Kindly look at
I see your confusion. The link is primarily teaching about vectors, but it does explicitly mention force and velocity as generic examples of vectors. There are some caveats that were not made clear in the article.gracy said:Kindly look at
Two forces,you meant?UncertaintyAjay said:the two torqyes
obviously I know!UncertaintyAjay said:If you don't know what a cross product is, look it up.
I am not confused.UncertaintyAjay said:You should have listened to what A.T said in his first two posts and googled this. Would have saved you a lot of confusion.
Why would it be?i just meant it is very basic.UncertaintyAjay said:disparaging comment or something.
Torque is a measure of the twisting force that is applied to an object. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the object by the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied.
Torque is typically measured in units of Newton-meters (Nm) or pound-feet (lb-ft). These units represent the amount of force (measured in Newtons or pounds) applied at a certain distance (measured in meters or feet).
Torque is directly related to the rotational motion of an object. When torque is applied to an object, it causes the object to rotate around an axis. The larger the torque, the greater the rotational motion.
The direction of torque is important because it determines the direction of the rotational motion. Torque can be applied in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and the direction of the torque will determine the direction of the rotation.
To increase torque, either the force applied or the distance from the axis of rotation must be increased. Alternatively, using a longer lever arm can also increase torque. This is why longer wrenches are often used to loosen tight bolts - the increased distance from the axis of rotation increases the torque applied.
