| n | Apply a force at
point on the object other |
|||||
| than its center
of gravity. |
||||||
| n | This quantity is
defined as the torque on an |
|||||
| object. |
||||||
| n | Torque causes
angular acceleration |

|
|
|
| Where
F is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of |
||
| the
object and d is the distance from the pivot point to the |
||
| point where the
force is being applied. |
