Torque, τ Torque depends on the applied force and lever-arm. Torque = Force x lever-arm Torque is a vector. It comes in clockwise and counter-clock wise directions. Unit of torque = N • m
Application of Torque: Weighing
Rotational Inertia rotational inertia = mass x square of distance from axis. I =mr 2 Rotational inertia is a scalar. Unit for I = kg. m 2
