Torque ( $τ$ )

Torque is the moment of force,

τ = r \times F

, and equals the rate of change of angular momentum.

Moment balance

Moment balance equates the rate of change of angular momentum to applied torques. A static slender rod obeys

\partial_{s} M + t \times F + m = 0

TORQUE can refer to different concepts depending on the context, but here are a couple of the most common usages: 1. **Physics**: In physics, torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object around a pivot point or axis. It is often described mathematically as the product of the force applied and the distance from the pivot point to the line of action of the force.
