vääntötulot

Vääntötulot, also known as torque or moment of force, is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The direction of the torque is perpendicular to the plane in which the force is applied and the axis of rotation.

The magnitude of the torque is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of the force applied by the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force. This can be expressed mathematically as:

Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Perpendicular Distance (r)

The SI unit for torque is the Newton meter (Nm), which is equivalent to one joule.

Vääntötulot is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, used to analyze the rotational motion of objects. It is crucial in various applications, including mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and robotics. Understanding torque is essential for designing and optimizing systems that involve rotational motion.
