What is Torque?

Just as force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics, torque is what causes an object to acquire angular acceleration. Torque is a vector quantity. The direction of the torque vector depends on the direction of the force on the axis. The terminology used when describing torque can be confusing. We sometimes use the term moment, or moment of force interchangeably with torque. The radius at which the force acts is sometimes called the moment arm.

Classification of Torque

A torque can be classified into two types: Static and Dynamic Torque. A static torque is one which does not produce an angular acceleration. Someone pushing on a closed door is applying a static torque to the door because the door is not rotating about its hinges, despite the force applied while a drive shaft in a racing car accelerating from the start line is carrying a dynamic torque because it must be producing an angular acceleration of the wheels given that the car is accelerating along the track.

How to Calculate Torque?

Torque calculator uses Torque Exerted on Wheel = Force*Length of Displacement Vector*sin(Angle between Force and Displacement Vector) to calculate the Torque Exerted on Wheel, Torque is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation.
