What Is the Torque of a Force?

Torque is called the rotational equivalent of linear force.

There are 2 types of torque forces. They are:

– Static torque – Dynamic torque

Static torque is the torque that does not produce an angular acceleration.

For example, the force applied in pedalling a cycle at a constant speed has a static torque with no acceleration.

Dynamic torque is the one that produces a rotation along with acceleration.

The shaft of a racing car accelerating from the start line produces an angular acceleration of the wheels due to dynamic torque.
