Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.

Consider an object at rest on a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following is necessarily correct if we use the model of friction described in the videos and book? The force of friction on the object is smaller than or equal to μg FN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction and FN is the normal force exerted on the object by the surface. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the normal force exerted by the surface on the object. The force of friction on any object opposes motion; since the object is at rest, the force of friction is zero. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the object's weight, i.e. Ff = p.mg, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, m is the mass of the object, and g is acceleration due to Earth's gravity.
