kiertomoment
Kiertomomentti, often translated as torque or moment of force, is a concept in physics that describes the tendency of a force to cause rotation around an axis or pivot point. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of kiertomomentti is determined by the magnitude of the applied force, the distance from the pivot point to where the force is applied (often called the lever arm), and the angle between the force vector and the lever arm. Mathematically, kiertomomentti is calculated as the cross product of the position vector from the pivot to the point of force application and the force vector itself.
The unit of kiertomomentti in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton-meter (Nm). A larger
Kiertomomentti is a fundamental principle in mechanics and is crucial for understanding the behavior of rotating
