Question

__________ is the rotating or turning force applied to an object such as a bolt or nut.

Answer 1

• Torque

Torque is the rotating or turning force applied to an object such as a bolt or nut.

Step-by-step explanation:

Torque is a force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. It is also known as moment of a force

• It is denoted by tau
  `( \tau)`
• Torque is a vector quantity.
• SI unit of Torque is N m

Formula to calculate torque is,

`{\boxed{\tau= Fr \sin \theta}}`

where,

• 
  `\tau` is torque
• F is linear force
• r is distance measured from the axis of rotation.
• theta is the angle between F and r
