thank you so much for this lesson. after 2 weeks of winter break, I had lost all knowledge of physics. this video at least partially restored what I had forgotten. please continue making these wonderful videos :)
I read this paragraph in my book and i can't understand it.Would u plz explain it for me? the axis of rotation can be chosen anywhere in the straight body where it is convenient for applying the torque equation.the most helpful axis of rotation is the one through which lines of action of several forces pass.
@mhelton20450 That depends of the reference point my friend. Clockwise the torque goes into the screen, and in the opposite direction is going out of the screen.
Determine the minimum force F that must be applied to the block of mass=50 kg such that the block of mass m=10 kg does not slide relative to the block of mass M. the coefficient of kinetic friction between all the surfaces is 0.2, and the coefficient of static friction between all surfaces is 0.3. The ramp in inclined at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal.
Can you tell me how much torque i need to rotate 270lbs balanced with the distance vector exactly 1ft and i need it to move from point of force 8inches in 0.90seconds? Or do you already have a video to show me how to figure it out? 2,400vids is too much for me to search through. Thanks.
@jnwmja uh... I could be wrong here but. 270lb in kg is 122.47kg. 0.8in is 2.03cm. 2.03cm is 0.00203m and 2.03cm in 0.9 seconds makes acceleration = 0.0022556m/s/s . So (122.47x0.0022556)x 0.03048 (feet to metres) means you should need 0.0084199 Torque? This cant be right... According to this you should just use roughly one nine-thousandth of a torque (applied perpendicular to the weight) to do the trick. I'm a physics student and I cant do this right, god help me... Sorry I think this is wrong
work is in same direction as displacement, torque is perpendicular to direction of displacement. (from what i understand, i think sal is saying distance by mistake)
when we are considering torque , we often choose center of gravity as the center of moment. But would that be incorrect when we choose the other point as the center of the rotation. As an example, when a ruler is free falling, if I take the center of gravity as the center of rotation, the ruler will not rotate. If I choose the other points(other than the c.g.) the ruler will rotate.Then...will the ruler rotate or not? What are the rules of choosing which points as the center of rotation?
my doubt is, what does torque really measure? I mean, in a practical way, what do we use it for. I don't mean in exercise solving, but actual day-to-day problems. by the way, thanks for all the videos, they've helped me a lot.
You don't need to worry about clockwise and counter clockwise being positive or negative. The first force is being applied at a 90 degree angle, and the second force is being applied at a 270 degree angle, and since T=Frsinθ, we can see that the 90 degree force is positive (sin90=1) and the 270 degree force is negative (sin270=-1).
"moment" is a term used to describe and idealized force that is curved in a circle... However in real life of course there is no such thing as a "curved force" and moments are actually just forces acting about moment arms.. hence if you dont care about the actual force that creates the torque, sometimes you'll just hear "moment" instead... When talking about torque, your implying that the force and the moment arm are indeed important.
What if I have two discs of different radii? One respectively smaller than the other, and a string is attached to connect them like the sprockets of a bicycle. Would the torque on the larger disc be the same as the torque on the smaller one since torque is transferred from the smaller disc to the larger one bcoz of the string or differen? Please Help and thanks in advance.
Yes, but if you noticed he states that work is fundamentally different than torque because for an object to do work the force must be parallel to the displacement. Whereas with torque, the force is perpendicular to the lever (moment) arm.
Oh my god you are amazing! My physics teacher is horrible at explaining things. Why can't more physics teachers be like you?!? Thank you so much for providing this excellent lecture!
@khanacademy If you really want to get semantical, distance is a scalar and displacement is a vector. The distance between two points can change depending on the path one takes, whereas the displacement is unchanging.
Distance is to displacement as speed is to velocity:
no distance is not a vector. It is a Scalar Quantity because it doesn't tell you the direction its going in, it just tells you the distance the object moved.
@khanacademy Distance is a scalar quantity. Displacement is a vector, as you stated "distance vector" then it has a direction so your right in that way.
@khanacademy Displacement is specified by a magnitude and direction. Distance is only specified by a magnitude (and so is always positive). So, it is not a vector.
@khanacademy Distance is a Scalar Quantity, as it only has magnitude where as it is displacement which is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.
@khanacademy i thought displacement was a vector and distance is scalar!!!!!!!!! well i do not know better than SAL because i am just a ninth grader !!!!
@danieldraco2000 no, distance is not a vector. distance is the measurement of how much or how far an object has traveled. its a summation of the objects linear motion. magnitude only
displacement is a vector, it shows the distance between start and end and relates with a direction. magnitude and direction.

i believe the joules is reserved for work, and Netwon meters is typically used to designate torque.
The unites (while technically equal) are not often switched so you can distinguish torque vs work
