Two forces produce the same torque but this will not ensure that they have the same magnitude of torque because torque is the product of force times distance.
Explain about Torque?
- Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. 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 physical quantities for which both magnitude and direction are defined distinctly are known as vector quantities. For example, a boy is riding a bike with a velocity of 30 km/hr in a north-east direction.
- The quantity torque (or moment of force) may be thought of as the cross product of force and distance and the SI unit for torque is Newton metre, N m (m2 kg s-2).
- We need to complete the description of the problem, searching in internet we have:
- "Sometimes, even with a wrench, one cannot loosen a nut that is frozen tightly to a bolt. It is often possible to loosen the nut by slipping one end of a long pipe over the wrench handle and pushing at the other end of the pipe.
- No, Because torque is the product of force times distance, two different forces that act at different distances could still give the same torque.
T = F * d
where:
T = torque [N*m]
F = force [N]
d = distance [m]
We can see in the above equation, that increasing the distance increases torque proportionally.
