Text: Torque A torque is an influence which tends to change the rotational motion of an object. One way to quantify a torque is Torque = Force applied x lever arm The lever arm is defined as the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/torq.html#torq
