what happens to torque where force is applied?
what happens to torque when force is moved from axis of rotation?
what happens to torque when d changes?
I will be happy to critique your thinking on this.
In equation T=FTimes D. Force is constant D gets greater Does the T get greater or smaller ?
Torque is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate or change its rotational motion. To answer your questions, let's consider each scenario.
1. What happens to torque where force is applied?
When a force is applied at a certain distance from the axis of rotation, it creates torque. The magnitude of torque is directly proportional to the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the line of action of the force. This distance is known as the lever arm. So, when force is applied, the torque created is directly related to the applied force and the length of the lever arm.
2. What happens to torque when force is moved from the axis of rotation?
If the force is moved farther away from the axis of rotation, the lever arm lengthens, resulting in an increase in torque. This is because torque is directly proportional to the lever arm length. Therefore, as the force is moved away from the axis of rotation, the torque increases.
3. What happens to torque when d changes?
In the context of torque, "d" usually represents the distance or displacement from the axis of rotation. If the distance (d) from the axis of rotation changes, it directly affects the lever arm length and, consequently, the torque. If the distance increases, the lever arm lengthens, resulting in an increase in torque. On the other hand, if the distance decreases, the lever arm shortens, leading to a decrease in torque. So, changes in the distance affect the torque proportionally.
