- Torque: Definition, Formula, Examples, and Applications - Science Facts
Therefore, the unit of torque is Newtonˑmeter (Nm) The dimension of torque is ML 2 T-2 From the above equation, when \( \theta = 90^o, \tau =rF \) Therefore, torque is highest when the applied force is perpendicular to the lever arm The static torque can be easily measured by using the formula The dynamic torque is challenging to measure

Torque is either clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the chosen pivot point Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\) shows counterclockwise rotations Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Torque is the turning or twisting effectiveness of a force, illustrated here for door rotation on its hinges (as viewed from overhead) Torque has both magnitude and direction
