Learn how to use force diagrams to analyze the forces and torques acting on a rigid system. Explore how force and torque can lead to rolling in different situations.

An introduction to torque, a force that causes rotation. Understand how torque is calculated as the product of force and distance, and how it differs from work. Learn about the direction of torque …

A torque is the rotational equivalent of a force. When a torque is applied to an object it causes the object to rotate. Learn how forces create torques and how to calculate the net torque on a …

Let's say you were tired of requiring so much torque to move this thing, you wanna make it easier to rotate. One thing you can always do is just take your masses and move them toward the …

We have the same analogy here. The analog for force in the rotational world is torque, it's obviously this force times the kind of radial, times that radial distance. But if you take torque …

So what we learned when we learned about torque is that an object won't rotate if the net torque, the sum of all the torques around it, are zero, and we're going to apply essentially that same …

Systems can exhibit different types of motion. A system is in translational motion if all parts of the system move together in the same direction. A system is in rotational motion if the system …

Two equal and opposite charges separated by some distance constitute a dipole. The product of the charge and distance between them is called the dipole moment. Dipole moment …
