Understanding Torque
What is Torque?
Torque is the rotational equivalent of force. It causes objects to rotate around an axis and depends on the force applied, the distance from the axis, and the angle of application.
Maximum Torque
Torque is maximum when the force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm (90°). At other angles, only the perpendicular component contributes to rotation.
