What is TORQUE in Physics

What is a moment? What is torque? Do you want to know more about the vector product or scalar product?
Discover the fundamentals of rigid body mechanics in this detailed tutorial from EngiPRO. Learn about the external and internal forces that act on rigid bodies and how to calculate moments of force with respect to a point or axis. We explore the principle of transmissibility and key theorems like Varignon’s Theorem. In addition, we delve into vector and scalar products with practical examples to better understand their rectangular components and their application in engineering. Ideal for students and professionals seeking a clear understanding of the topic.
