Torque Flashcards
is a twist or turn that tends to produce rotation that can change the angular velocity of an object.
Torque
is measured about a particular point.
torque
Torque is Determined by Three Factors:
-The magnitude of the applied force.
-The direction of the applied force.
-The location of the applied force.
is proportional to the magnitude of F and to the distance r from the axis
torque
torque formula
ͳ = fr
where
ͳ = torque (unit: N-m)
F = force applied for rotation
r = moment arm is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and pivot point.
torque unit
N m
counterclockwise value
+
clockwise value

what is the 2nd condition of equilibrium
when forces are applied on a body, the body tends to rotate about an axis
axis where the body tends to rotate on when forces are applied to a body
pivot point/fulcrum
tendency to rotate a body about an axis
Torque (T)
need to do the work of supporting the joint under the strain of torque
muscles
is among the most complex movement in all of sports.
