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.

You are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal.

A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is H = 0.603, and the kinetic friction coefficient is µ = 0.403. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 336 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle o = 25.0°, and they make an angle 0 = 31.1° with the horizontal.

Students are performing an experiment with the setup shown above, where a block of mass M sits on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk. The block is connected to a hanging object over a pulley. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. The string connecting the two is very light and does not stretch. The students add mass to the hanging object so that its mass is m, where m < M, and the block-hanging object system is released from rest. The hanging object falls for a distance h, at which point it collides with the ground and comes to rest. The block on the table keeps sliding and travels a total distance d before coming to rest. It does not reach the pulley, and d > h. A student creates a data table (see image) for the net force exerted on the block during the speeding up and slowing down portions of the experiment. (d) Does the block of mass M spend more time speeding up or slowing down? Justify your answer.
