1-11 Torque
11-3 Zero Torque and Static Equilibrium

 Torque
• Force is the action that creates
changes in linear motion.
• For rotational motion, the same force
can cause very different results.
• A torque is an action that causes
objects to rotate.
• A torque is required to rotate an object,
just as a force is required to move an
object in a line.

 Torque is created by force, but it also depends on
where the force is applied and the point about which
the object rotates.

• For example, a door pushed

at its handle will easily turn
and open, but a door
pushed near its hinges will
not move as easily. The
force may be the same but
the torque is quite different.

 Center of rotation
• The point or line about which an object
turns is its center of rotation.
• For example, a door’s center of rotation is
at its hinges.
• A force applied far from the center of
rotation produces a greater torque than a
force applied close to the center of
rotation.

 Calculating torque

• The torque (τ) created by a force is equal to

the lever arm (r) times the magnitude of the
force (F).

• The units of torque are force times distance,

or Newton-meters

 General Definition of Torque

• SI units: N.m

 • Exercise 1
• To open the door a tangential force F is
applied at a distance r from the axis of
rotation. If the minimum torque required to
open the door is 3.1N.m , what force must
be applied if r is:
• (a)0.94m? Answer:3.3N
• (b)0.35m? Answer:8.9N

 11-3 Zero Torque and Static Equilibrium
Static equilibrium occurs when an object is at
rest – neither rotating nor translating.

 11-3 Zero Torque and Static Equilibrium
If the net torque is zero, it doesn’t matter which
axis we consider rotation to be around; we are
free to choose the one that makes our
calculations easiest.

 Summary of Chapter 11
• A force applied so as to cause an angular
acceleration is said to exert a torque.
• Torque due to a tangential force:
• Torque in general:
• In order for an object to be in static equilibrium,
the total force and the total torque acting on the
object must be zero.
