Can someone send me a link,where finding torque is explained simply ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Force times distance ..... right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ,but i find them hard when we also have cos37 and sin37!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats part of vectors then, and not really torque ... im assuming is there a more specific problem that we can relate these to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This example is solved in my book,but i cant understand the procedure! -The force applied to a 0.2m long spanner is 15N.Find the torque produced by this force.(take cos37=0.8 and sin37=0.6)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then tag me in your post so I can have a look see later please

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we want to find the part of the force that is perpendicular to the spanner
