Torque and Rotational Motion ============================ This chapter explores rotational analogs to linear motion. Key Concepts: ------------- - Torque - Rotational kinematics and dynamics - Moment of inertia - Angular momentum Sample Question: ---------------- A force of 8 N is applied perpendicular to a wrench 0.3 m long. What is the torque? .. math:: \tau = rF = 0.3 \times 8 = 2.4\ \text{N m}
