Torque The lever arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a line drawn along the direction of the force t=Fd= FL sin Fsinφ F F Fcosφ The sign of the torque is positive if its turning tendency is counterclockwise and negative if its turning tendency is clockwise(right-hand rule) Physics 121: Lecture 17, Pg 2
