For example, if a person places a force of 10 N at the terminal end of a wrench that is 0.5 m long (or a force of 10 N acting 0.5 m from the twist point of a wrench of any length), the torque will be 5 N⋅m – assuming that the person moves the wrench by applying force in the plane of movement and perpendicular to the wrench.
It is abbreviated kp·m or m·kp, older publications often use mkg and kgm as well. Torque is a product of the length of a lever and the force applied to the lever. One kilopond is the force applied to one kilogram due to gravitational acceleration; this force is exactly 9.80665 N. This means 1 kp·m = 9.80665 kg·m/s 2 = 9.80665 N·m.
The amount of torque needed to cause any given angular acceleration (the rate of change in angular velocity) is proportional to the moment of inertia of the body. Moments of inertia may be expressed in units of kilogram metre squared (kg·m 2) in SI units and pound-foot-second squared (lbf·ft·s 2) in imperial or US units.
is the motor torque constant (SI unit, newton–metre per ampere, N·m/A), see below If two motors with the same K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} and torque work in tandem, with rigidly connected shafts, the K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} of the system is still the same assuming a parallel electrical connection.
Acceleration has the dimensions of velocity (L/T) divided by time, i.e. L T −2. The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s −2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second.
Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.
[4] [5] Practitioners depend on context and the hyphenated abbreviations to know that these refer to neither energy nor moment of mass (as the symbol ft-lb rather than lbf-ft would imply). Similarly, an inch-pound (or pound-inch ) is the torque of one pound of force applied to one inch of distance from the pivot, and is equal to 1 ⁄ 12 lbf⋅ ...
Torque-free precessions are non-trivial solution for the situation where the torque on the right hand side is zero. When I is not constant in the external reference frame (i.e. the body is moving and its inertia tensor is not constantly diagonal) then I cannot be pulled through the derivative operator acting on L.
