The goal of this experiment is to understand the components of torque and to balance multiple torques in ...

Torque is the underlying force that governs rotation and is useful for describing the operation of both simple and complex machines.

Much like how a net force causes linear acceleration a in a translational system, a net torque, typically represented by the Greek letter t, is a force that causes angular acceleration a in a rotational syste...
