Make Note on Torque

Torque is the angular force that has been created for the rotating axis and torque is shown in the topper direction of angular momentum and with angular velocity.

Torque is one kind of force that is being created due to the angular momentum and angular velocity. The torque dimensional formula is constructed by using the coordinate axes of the angular rotation. The torque dimensional formula is used to represent the amount of torque that is created due to the angular velocity and inertia. The torque unit formula is used to measure a certain value of torque of a rotating body. There are two units used for making the unit of torque. The net torque formula is used to calculate the summation of the different particles of a rotating rigid body and the formula helps to show the rotating form of the body.  

A Brief Explanation of Net Torque 

In the angular rotation axis of a rotating rigid axis, torque is shown in the upper force direction which has real values and units. The torque dimensional formula has been constructed with the help of two and three-dimensional variables. The formula is made by using the mass, length and time of the rotating and moving rigid body. Three units have been included in the dimensional formula and this quantity is the present form of torque. The value of torque is dependable and with the change of one value of three quantities, the torque value also changes. Based on this statement, the dimensional quantity of the torque is independent. The torque dimensional formula is calculated by multiplying all variables. The dimensional quantity represents the quantity that is seen in real life and can be measured by using mathematical units. 

The torque dimensional formula in physics is ML2T-2 where M is the mass of the rotational rigid body, and L has represented the distance of angular motion of the rigid body. T is represented as the time the rigid body takes to rotate in a circle with a measurable speed. Based on the formula of the torque, mass and length are proportional to the value of the torque force and time is inversely proportional to torque. Time is calculated with minutes, length is measured with the meter and mass is calculated with Kg. This dimensional formula helps to construct the torque unit formula of a rotating rigid body.

Explanation of Net Torque Formula 

The net torque formula is constructed by using the second law of newton. The formula has two-dimensional quantities that include inertia and angle. Angle is made due to the rotational force of a moving particle where inertia is the multiplication of mass and square of the distance. Based on the net torque formula, torque is said to be proportional to the moment of inertia and the angular angle of the circular path. 

Relation of Unit Torque Formula and Dimensional Formula 

The torque dimensional formula helps to make the unit of the torque. This unit of torque formula is made by using three international units that include SI, CGS and MKS. In mathematical physics, most of the sum is calculated using SI and CGS. In SI units, the amount of torque is the multiplication of force and distance. The unit of force is Newton in SI and the distance unit is meter. So the unit torque formula can be written as the newton-meter. In the CGS form, the unit of force is calculated as dyne and the distance unit is measured as cm. So the torque using CGS measurement is dyne-cm.

Conclusion

Conclusively a brief explanation of the dimensional and unit of torque is demonstrated in this note. Torque is one kind of angular force that is being shown due to the angular momentum and angular velocity of a rotating particle. The torque dimensional formula is constructed by using the coordinate axes of the angular rotation with velocity and inertia. The torque dimensional formula is used to represent the amount of torque. There are two units used for making the unit of torque that includes SI, CGS and MKS. The unit torque formula can be written as the Newton-meter and dyne-cm in physics.
