Q

Define torque

A

The application of force, at any point along a lever, causes it to rotate or tend to rotate about its axis. This generates torque (the rotational equivalent of force), a vector quantity

17
Q

Torque equation

A

T = Force (N) x Distance (M)

18
Q

Anticlockwise/ clockwise torque positive or negative

A
Anticlockwise = Positive numbers
clockwise = Negative numbers
19
Q

Define sin, cos, tan

A
Sin = Opposite / hypotenuse 
Cos= adjacent / hypotenuse 
Tan = opposite / adjacent
20
Q

2 factors that influence strength

A

Different moment arms

Different lever lengths
