Interpretation of torque
Measures tendency of any force to cause rotation
Torque is defined with respect to some origin –
must talk about “torque of force about point X”,
etc.
Torques can cause clockwise (+) or anticlockwise
rotation (-) about pivot point

Definition of Torque:
  r  F

where r is the vector from the reference point (generally either the
pivot point or the center of mass) to the point of application of the

force F. If r and F are not perpendicular then:
|  | r F sin 
where  is the angle between the vectors

r and
.
Definition of Torque:

Adrienne (50 kg) and Bo (90kg) are playing on a 100 kg
rigid plank resting on the supports seen below. If
Adrienne stands on the left end, can Bo walk all the way
to the right end with out the plank tipping over? If not,
How far can he get past the support on the right?

Suppose we have masses m1 and m2 on the seesaw at
distances d1 and d2, respectively, from the fulcrum, when
does the seesaw balance?
By Archimedes’ Law of the lever, this occurs when
m1d1 + m2d2 = 0

If we place a coordinate system so that 0 is at the
fulcrum and if we let xi be the coordinate at which is
placed then:

More generally, if we place masses m1, m2, …, mr at
points x1, x2, …. , xr, respectively, then the see saw
balances with the fulcrum at the origin, if and only if

Now, suppose that we place masses m1, m2, … , mr at
points x1, x2, … xr, respectively, then where should we place
the fulcrum so that the seesaw balances?
The answer is that we place the fulcrum at x-bar where:
m1(x1 - (x-bar) ) + m2(x2 - (x-bar) ) + …+ mr(xr - (x-bar) )= 0
