To calculate net torque, you need to multiply the force applied to an object by the distance from the pivot point. The formula for net torque is T = F x d, where T is the net torque, F is the force, and d is the distance from the pivot point.
The unit of measurement for net torque is Newton-meters (N*m) in the International System of Units (SI).
Net torque is the sum of all the individual torques acting on an object, while torque is the measure of the turning or twisting force on an object. Net torque takes into account the direction and magnitude of all the torques, while torque only considers the magnitude of a single torque.
You can check your answer for net torque by using the formula T = F x d and plugging in the values for force and distance. Make sure to also consider the direction of the individual torques to ensure your net torque is correct.
Yes, net torque can be negative. This indicates that the object is rotating in the opposite direction of the applied force. The direction of the net torque is determined by the direction of the individual torques.
