3/11 AP: Torque & Rotational Motion

Teeter totters and torque Torque Introduction to Torque in your textbook (skim pages 226-230) Torque is the rotational analog of force. Torque is calculated as the product of the force and the distance from the center. $latex \vec{\tau }=\vec{r}\cdot \vec{F}$ This is very similar to our $latex \vec{\ W }=\vec{d}\cdot…Read More
