Cross Product Torque (with a Cross Product Review)

The video tutorial covers the concept of torque and its calculation using the cross product. It explains the non-commutative nature of the cross product and demonstrates how to solve torque problems using matrices. The tutorial includes examples to illustrate the application of the cross product in determining torque direction and magnitude, emphasizing the use of the right-hand rule. The session concludes with a summary of key points and encourages the use of the cross product for torque calculations.
