Mastering Torque: Essential Guide 

Haha I did work in the US for three years. Guess it paid off

You’re welcome and thanks

just can't torque about it

@@christinemin3723 nice one!!

It can be explained, but the layman will not understand it.

​@@arjunraj5305 do have any sources?

Mechanical advantages.

🤓

Glad it was helpful!

You’re welcome

Thanks

I swear

its cuz of circle and radiys thing if you increase the radius less force is required because with a large radius the cirmference is so big that to even move a few degree large distance needa to be travelled so less force. its like lever

You have to be careful here. Although they do have the same unit (Nm) energy and torque are different things. For starters the distance in torque is the radius. With work, it’s the displacement, and in the case of circular motion, it’s the circumference. There is a relationship between the two. Power, which is the rate of change of energy, is equal to torque x angular velocity, and so energy equals torque x angular displacement.

Stop being Gandhi 👊

Thanks

This confused the hell out of me, too, and I REALLY wish Paul and other people teaching the right hand rule would explain this right as they explain it - there is NO reason it is "perpendicular" to the actual turning, because it's actually physically not, or the specific direction is completely arbitrary, at least. Apparently this is just a standard convention to make doing math formulas and diagrams easier - you could, for example, have a "left hand" rule, and all your math would work out exactly the same as long as you were consistent. REALLY wish more teachers would mention this, because it makes it needlessly confusing when they don't. Sorry this answer is a year late, hahah. : \

More length more force more torque
