Torque

What is the difference between Torque and force?

• Force is a linear quantity that causes linear motion, while torque is a rotational quantity that causes rotational motion.

• Torque is a linear quantity that causes linear motion, while force is a rotational quantity that causes rotational motion.

• Both torque and force are linear quantities that cause linear motion.

• Torque and force are the same and can be used interchangeably.

What is the formula for calculating Torque?

• Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (r) × sin(θ)

• Torque (τ) = Force (F) + Distance (r) + θ

• Torque (τ) = Force (F) / Distance (r) × θ

• Torque (τ) = Force (F) - Distance (r) × sin(θ)

What is Torque?

• A measure of the rotational force applied to an object, calculated as the product of the force and the distance from the axis of rotation.

• A type of energy that is stored in an object due to its position.

• The speed at which an object rotates around an axis.

• The total amount of force applied to an object in a straight line.

What happens to Torque if the distance is doubled?

• The torque remains the same.

• The torque is halved.

• The torque is doubled for the same applied force.

• The torque is tripled.

What is static equilibrium in the context of Torque?

• Static equilibrium occurs when the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, resulting in no acceleration.

• Static equilibrium occurs when the sum of all torques acting on an object is zero, resulting in no rotation.

• Static equilibrium occurs when an object is in motion with constant velocity.

• Static equilibrium occurs when the net force acting on an object is at its maximum.

What is dynamic equilibrium in the context of Torque?

• Dynamic equilibrium occurs when an object is at rest and the net torque is zero.

• Dynamic equilibrium occurs when an object is moving with constant angular velocity, and the net torque acting on it is zero.

• Dynamic equilibrium occurs when an object is accelerating and the net torque is non-zero.

• Dynamic equilibrium occurs when an object is moving with variable speed, and the net torque is fluctuating.

How does Torque relate to angular momentum?

• Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum; it causes changes in the rotational motion of an object.

• Torque is the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity.

• Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.

• Torque is the total energy of a rotating object.

What is the relationship between Torque and rotational motion?

• Torque causes an object to rotate around an axis; greater torque results in greater angular acceleration.

• Torque is the force that opposes motion in a straight line.

• Torque is irrelevant to rotational motion and only affects linear motion.

• Torque is the measure of an object's resistance to rotation.

How does the angle of force application affect Torque?

• The angle has no effect on torque.

• Maximum torque occurs when the force is applied at an angle of 45 degrees to the lever arm.

• The angle affects the effective component of the force that contributes to torque; maximum torque occurs when the force is applied perpendicularly (90 degrees) to the lever arm.

• Torque is maximized when the force is applied parallel to the lever arm.

What is the significance of the distance in Torque calculation?

• The distance has no effect on torque.

• A longer lever arm decreases torque for the same amount of force.

• The distance affects the amount of torque produced; a longer lever arm increases torque for the same amount of force.

• Torque is only dependent on the angle of application.
