Solving Questions with Torques in 5 Easy steps (Rotational Mechanics - Physics)
Physics Made Easy
When torques (AKA moments or “turning Forces”) are applied to a body, the rotational acceleration of the object is proportional to the net torque.
The net torque is the vector sum of all individual torques applied on a body. This concept is an adaptation of the second law of Newton to rotational mechanics. It is at the heart of the 5-step technique to solve questions in rotational mechanics that I present in this video.
The physics of rotational mechanics plays an essential role in today’s technology, so if you are studying Physics or/and Engineering, knowing how to solve these questions is essential.
After a brief reminder on how to solve problems with translational forces, I present the 5 steps that can guide you in solving questions with rotational forces.
00:25 How to solve questions with translational forces?: presentation of the 5-step technique.
01:06 How to solve questions with torques?: presentation of the adapted 5-step technique
02:25 Rotational equilibrium: example of application of the 5-step technique to solve question with Torques.
