Torque By: David Olinger Zach Greene
2
Definition Every time you open a door, turn on water, or tighten a nut with a wrench, you exert a turning force, or torque.
3
Example: Force Lever Arm Torque = Perpendicular Force x Lever Arm
4
Breakdown: Toque is produced when you create “leverage”
The shorter the lever arm the less torque produced. The longer the lever arm the more torque produced. Depending on the force applied the greater or lesser the force the greater or lesser the torque put out.
