The 79 pages that link to Torque, each with the reason it gives.
Angular momentumRelated: Torque changes angular momentum, just as force changes linear momentum.
Center of massRelated: Torque governs rotation about the center of mass, separately from its translational motion.
ForceCompared with: Torque describes rotational effects that force alone does not specify.
Electric motorRelated: Motor torque is the rotational output delivered to a shaft or load.
Angular velocityCompared with: Torque can change angular velocity but is not itself a rotational rate.
LeverRelated: Torque quantifies the turning effect that governs lever balance.
Magnetic momentRelated: A magnetic field exerts torque on a dipole moment, tending to align it with the field.
Cross productRelated: Torque is the cross product of a position vector and a force.
Newton's second lawRelated: Its rotational analogue links torque to changes in angular momentum.
ThrustCompared with: Torque turns shafts and wheels; thrust is a force directed along a vehicle's motion.
CrankshaftNarrower topic: Torque is the rotational output produced by force acting through crank geometry.
Moment of inertiaRelated: For fixed-axis rotation, torque and moment of inertia determine angular acceleration.
HelicopterRelated: The engine-driven main rotor applies torque that the helicopter must counter.
Mechanical advantageRelated: For rotating machines, torque rather than straight-line force captures the output effect.
Axial precessionRelated: The Sun's and Moon's gravitational forces exert torque on Earth's equatorial bulge.
ImpulseCompared with: Torque integrated over time changes angular momentum, paralleling linear impulse.
Equilibrium pointRelated: Rotational equilibrium requires the net torque, as well as the net force, to vanish.
Center of gravityRelated: An object's weight produces torque according to its line of action relative to a pivot.
Gear trainRelated: A gear train trades rotational speed against torque while transmitting power.
Free-body diagramNarrower topic: A moment on the diagram represents a tendency to rotate the isolated body.
Power (physics)Related: Rotational power is torque multiplied by angular velocity.
PulleyRelated: Rope tension applied at the rim creates torque that turns the wheel.
Axis of rotationRelated: Torque about an axis can change a body's angular motion around it.
Circular motionRelated: Torque changes rotational motion and can alter the rate of circular movement.
EscapementRelated: The clock’s driving torque presses escape-wheel teeth against the locking surfaces.
FlywheelRelated: Uneven torque accelerates or decelerates the flywheel as it absorbs or supplies energy.
Rolling resistanceRelated: Rolling resistance may be represented as a resisting torque at the wheel.
Conservation of angular momentumRelated: Net external torque is the condition that determines whether total angular momentum changes.
CounterweightNarrower topic: A counterweight balances turning effects by producing torque opposite the load’s torque.
Static equilibriumRelated: Zero net torque prevents angular acceleration in equilibrium.
Electric dipoleRelated: A uniform electric field exerts torque that tends to align the dipole moment.
PropellerRelated: An engine supplies torque to turn the propeller against aerodynamic resistance.
Rotational motionRelated: Applied torque changes rotational motion, much as force changes linear motion.
Angular displacementRelated: Torque changes rotational motion and can produce angular displacement.
Bicycle drivetrainNarrower topic: Pedaling torque is the input the drivetrain transmits and modifies.
Mechanical equilibriumRelated: Zero net torque is the rotational balance condition for equilibrium.
Water wheelRelated: Water exerts force on the wheel at a distance from its axle.
Chain driveRelated: The chain’s tensile force acting at a sprocket radius transmits torque.
Gear ratioRelated: Ideal gear trains trade rotational speed for torque according to their ratio.
HorsepowerRelated: Engine horsepower combines torque with rotational speed, rather than measuring torque alone.
Larmor precessionNarrower topic: A magnetic field exerts torque on a magnetic moment, changing its direction.
Newton (unit)Related: Torque is calculated from force and a lever arm, often in newton metres.
PreloadRelated: Torque is commonly applied to generate preload, though friction makes the relationship uncertain.
WheelRelated: Torque at the axle turns a wheel and determines its capacity to drive a load.
FulcrumRelated: Forces on a lever create opposing torques about its fulcrum.
PrecessionRelated: An applied torque changes angular momentum, steering the spin axis rather than simply tipping the body over.
Vector (physics)Broader topic: Its direction follows a vector product of position and force.
WinchRelated: Torque at the drum determines line pull, with the effective drum radius shaping the result.
Angular accelerationRelated: Net torque produces angular acceleration according to rotational dynamics.
Central forceRelated: The force's radial direction makes its torque about the center vanish.
