Torque is a twisting or turning force that causes an object to rotate around a fixed point or axis. It is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, particularly in understanding rotational motion. Torque measures how much force is applied and how effectively it can cause an object to spin or turn. For example, when you use a wrench to turn a bolt, the force you apply to the handle creates torque that causes the bolt to rotate. Torque depends on two main factors: The magnitude of the force applied: A stronger force generates more torque. The distance from the axis of rotation (lever arm): The farther away the force is applied from the axis, the greater the torque. In this video, we have explained the definition of torque, how it works and its practical applications in simple words. #PhysicsConcepts #TorqueExplained #RotationalDynamics References: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4615-3860-8_7 https://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/301/lectures/node104.html http
