Mastering Torque: Essential Guide
I cover the concept of torque and how it is calculated and use some everyday examples to demonstrate how it works.

I've never understood torque until now thank you so much!
Torque is one of those things you understand but you can’t explain it 😂

Mechanical advantages.
This video should be higher in the search results. Everyone else says the same thing as one another, but don't explain it this clearly.
Excellent! Better than my physics teachers ever could!
Ha, that introduction was hilarious! Great video.
Thank you sir I have understood the topic
Great explanation!
@High School Physics Explained .. .. 1:42 Wonderful. You said "Wrench" perfectly, with a proper accent and everything. . When I was in Aussie with my Canadian accent, I asked a digga, "How does my accent sound to you? .. He said that I stumble over my "Rs". "OK," I said, "But you don't pronounce your 'Rs' at all." .. . Not that it matters. .. Thanks for the free lessons. ..
Great video. The concept of torque can be explained without mentioning "cross product," but a full understanding has to mention it since both the radius and force are both vectors. In other words, torque = r X F which of course results in a vector given that both r and F are vectors. And the order matters such that torque cannot simply be written as F X r which would be a different vector. The magnitudes of the vectors can be multiplied, yes, but that doesn't give the direction of the torque vector. Torque is a fascinating idea.
I'm so glad you made the clarification what you call a "spanner", we in the U.S. call a "wrench".
so if the torque direction is down means the nail going down also? Like you tighten it. thank you
Excellent video
Thank you for sharing, greetings from Costa Rica.
Sir can you please explain the starting torque and the normal torque in an AC motor .
Wow you just clear my doubts
You happen to have an aura around you, man. The kind I wish to have in my older days. Keep it up. Why did I find you so late? Never mind. It's always better to be late than never.
excellent sir you help me keep on updating me
Really handy video . . Talk the torque that really got me😂

Hi sir. Your explanations are great. Can you please explain or upload a video for the direction of torque with a real life example. I am not actually getting that concept of direction of torque.
This is extremely well done Very helpful Thank you

What's it called when the force comes from the inside to lift the lever . Like a mechanical boom gate?
thank you
whats the difference between moment of force and torque ??
Very good explanation . Thank you

If calculating the torque, the equation used is similar (at least in the measurements used distance and force) to that of work. So is the amount of torque also the amount of work, which would be measured in Joules? Can Torque be measured in Joules or must it always be measured as Nm?

You have to be careful here. Although they do have the same unit (Nm) energy and torque are different things. For starters the distance in torque is the radius. With work, it’s the displacement, and in the case of circular motion, it’s the circumference. There is a relationship between the two. Power, which is the rate of change of energy, is equal to torque x angular velocity, and so energy equals torque x angular displacement.
Hey paul, I'm interested in knowing how exactly this works- how distance from center increases rotational force, or perhaps you know an equation that proves it? Thank you very much!

its cuz of circle and radiys thing if you increase the radius less force is required because with a large radius the cirmference is so big that to even move a few degree large distance needa to be travelled so less force. its like lever
Wonderful.

I don't understand why torque points perpendicularly to the actual turning. Why isn't it just a magnitude? Why does it need a direction?

This confused the hell out of me, too, and I REALLY wish Paul and other people teaching the right hand rule would explain this right as they explain it - there is NO reason it is "perpendicular" to the actual turning, because it's actually physically not, or the specific direction is completely arbitrary, at least. Apparently this is just a standard convention to make doing math formulas and diagrams easier - you could, for example, have a "left hand" rule, and all your math would work out exactly the same as long as you were consistent. REALLY wish more teachers would mention this, because it makes it needlessly confusing when they don't. Sorry this answer is a year late, hahah. : \
someone pls say why torque depends on length of axis

More length more force more torque
Nice spanners
Another joke, sorry = If you use right hand threads down there, why do you drive on the wrong side of the road? [Sorry, I'm Canadian.]
