MIT Physicist Explains Torque As Simply as Possible.

Today we take a very simple approach to explaining what is quite a complex topic, torque!

It is so nice that you can explain something complicated into something easy to understand. Thank you!

I'm so obsessed with your experiments practicals & explanation ❤

This is one of the best videos i’ve seen in a while, not just on the topic of physics but just overall. You’re an amazing teacher. I felt engaged there entire time and the title accurately reflects the content. I’m not religious but I’ll pray to whatever god there may be that you make a lot of money and keep making content lol. 10/10

Quality education. Short and powerful. Please keep setting this good example!

the confusion is when people talk about cars because they think the engine torque is proportional to acceleration of the vehicle and that is true for a given gear ratio but not if gears are changed. the gear ratio and engine torque gives the final torque to the wheels.

What’s a real life application? A door handle. The closer a door knob is closer to its hinge, the more difficult it would be to open the door.

When you do clockwise, it's also counterclockwise at same time..
Same goes for when you do counter clockwise, it's also clockwise at the same time..
"Physics is pretty fun" but "point of view, or Perspective" is pretty interesting
You show us clockwise, but you see it counter clockwise.
And vice versa.

It's been a decade since I last read about this. Thank you for reminding about good times

Most intutive explanation of Torque . Thank you!

[hamdaniyusuf_dani]

To avoid confusion between unit of torque and energy, torque can be expressed as Joule per radian. Or Newton meter per radian. Dot product between force and distance produces energy, which is a scalar. Cross product between force and distance from fulcrum produces torque, which is a vector.

Wow!!! I learned more about rotational force in this 4+minute video than in a one-hour physics class lecture in college, amazing!!! Thank you.

Fantastic Illustration and really very easy to grasp the concept 🔥👍,
as ♾️ Physics is pretty Fun

Love from Nashik ❤, India 🇮🇳.

Please do one in the same style of explanation for
**Power vs Torque** (Bhp vs Nm)

Thanks a bunch !

'Physics is Pretty "FUN"'

Video's done, I'm going to the kitchen to have a Newton.

oh Dios mío.... Lo que no entendí en todo un parcial lo entendí en 5min.... excelente video.

One thing I see in popular culture is that people have no idea that rotation even exists. They're ignorant of half the DOF! Greetings from an alum of some other institute of technology. 😉

I would see this after calibrating a mess of torque wrenches.

[TacoDaddy-mrig]

Torque for me as i learned in electronics technology is rotational Force

[johnhoie-hjcg]

I get torqued every time I read the news.
