Torque Introduction

The video tutorial introduces torque, comparing it to translational and rotational motion. It explains torque as a rotational force causing angular acceleration, using a bicycle wheel and door as examples. The concept of moment arm is detailed, emphasizing its role in torque calculation. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on units of torque, distinguishing it from work and energy.
