When we take a wrench and fix a bolt; the force exerted alters the rotational moment along an axis. This is what is termed as Torque.
Torque is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. In brief, it is a moment of force. It is characterized by τ.
Torque formula is articulated as
T =F x d
Where,
Force applied = F and
From the axis of rotation the perpendicular distance of force = d
The Magnitude of torque is articulated as
T = F d sin theta
Where θ is the angle between the force applied and the axis of rotation.
Torque formula is every valuable for a clear understanding of problems related to rotational dynamics. It is articulated in Newton-meter (Nm).
