Whenever we define torque from a frame of reference, is it necessary for the frame to be inertial?
Please explain because I am unclear on this.

Torque from a frame of reference is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, taking into account the reference point or axis of rotation.
Torque from a frame of reference is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the reference point to the point where the force is applied.
The frame of reference can affect torque by changing the distance and direction from the reference point to the point where the force is applied, thus changing the magnitude and direction of the torque.
Positive torque from a frame of reference causes an object to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, while negative torque causes the object to rotate in a clockwise direction.
Torque from a frame of reference is used in various applications such as engineering, mechanics, and physics to analyze and design rotational systems, including engines, gears, and levers.
