Torque, , is a vector quantity.FdrF sinMagnitude of torque is defined as the product of the force exerted on the object to rotate it and the moment arm.FdLine of ActionConsider an object pivoting about the point P by the force F being exerted at a distance r. PrMoment armThe line that extends out of the tail of the force vector is called the line of action. The perpendicular distance from the pivoting point P to the line of action is called Moment arm.When there are more than one force being exerted on certain points of the object, one can sum up the torque generated by each force vectorially. The convention for sign of the torque is positive if rotation is in counter-clockwise and negative if clockwise. d2F22122dFFd Monday, Nov. 4, 2002 PHYS 1443-003, Fall 2002Dr. Jaehoon Yu8R1Example 10.9A one piece cylinder is shaped as in the figure with core section protruding from the larger drum. The cylinder is free to rotate around the central axis shown in the picture. A rope wrapped around the drum whose radius is R1 exerts force F1 to the right on the cylinder, and another force exerts F2 on the core whose radius is R2 downward on the cylinder.
