In our Understanding Gears tutorial, we briefly touched upon a rotational force known as torque. But since there is just so much to know about this force, it is necessary that it has its own page so you can learn how to calculate it, how to find out a motors torque, and the effect torque can have on gears. FAQ _________________________________ How do I calculate Torque? Practical applications for calculating Torque Is Torque a vector or a scalar?
