Question:

The magnitude of torque on a particle of mass $1\,kg$ is $2.5\, Nm$ about the origin. If the force acting on it is $1\, N$, and the distance of the particle from the origin is $5\,m$, the angle between the force and the position vector is (in radians) :

Concepts Used:

Torque

Torque is a moment of force. Torque is measured as a force that causeque is also defined as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. Torque is chs an object to rotate about an axis and is responsible for the angular acceleration. Characterized with “T”.

How is Torque Calculated?

Torque is calculated as the magnitude of the torque vector T for a torque produced by a given force F

T = F. Sin (θ)

Where,

 r - length of the moment arm,

θ - the angle between the force vector and the moment arm.
