Question

What is torque? And what is the formula for calculating Torque?

Answer 1

What is force?Force is that which causes a change in state of motion.Torque is the analogy of Force in rotational mechanics.It makes a body rotate.It is the rotating effect of a force.\[\tau=I\]

Answer 2

torque =moment of inertia*Angular acceleration(sorry for the above wrong eq)

Answer 3

Torque is an Analog of Force

\[\tau = I \alpha \]

Answer 4

@Yahoo! you could add alpha right?when i typed it in equations option it didnt come

Answer 5

The formula you are probably looking for might also be T = rFsin(theta)

Answer 6

@JocelynC its another way of representing it.
