Hi,

Can any1 help me out here. I want easy explaination of torque.

 

Any help will be most appreciated. Thnx

It might be helpful if you start with what you think/know to have a basis. I like the introductionary sentence from Wikipedia which is: "In physics, torque (or often called a moment) can informally be thought of as "rotational force" or "angular force" which causes a change in rotational motion".

force acting perpendicularly to the axis of rotation at distance r. you really should use google for questions like these.

Well this definition is taken from a website i've used before for physics work, it says "Torqueis a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate."

the object does not need to be rotating to have a torque applied. an example is when your trying to turn a nut with a spanner but it doesn't move. your still applying a torque but nothing is rotating.

 

T=F*r most basic definition you can get.

dL/dt looks more basic to me.
