• Resumen

  • Torque is a physical quantity defined as the cross product: ?=?r?×?F,where Fis the applied force to a rigid body at a point a distance rfrom the rotation axis. The torque is a vector having direction given by the usual right-hand rule and a magnitude ?=?rF?sin?, being the angle between rand F.1
