The matrix [S] is an element of the Lie algebra se(3) of the Lie group SE(3) of homogeneous transforms. The components of [S] are the components of the twist screw, and for this reason [S] is also often called a twist. From the definition of the matrix [S], we can formulate the ordinary differential equation,
In three dimensions, the torque is a pseudovector; for point particles, it is given by the cross product of the displacement vector and the force vector. The direction of the torque can be determined by using the right hand grip rule : if the fingers of the right hand are curled from the direction of the lever arm to the direction of the force ...
The equation for torque is very important in angular mechanics. Torque is rotational force and is determined by a cross product. This makes it a pseudovector. = where is torque, r is radius, and is a cross product. Another variation of this equation is:
The cross product is anticommutative (that is, a × b = − b × a) and is distributive over addition, that is, a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c. [1] The space together with the cross product is an algebra over the real numbers, which is neither commutative nor associative, but is a Lie algebra with the cross product being the Lie bracket.
The cross product in relation to the exterior product. In red are the unit normal vector, and the "parallel" unit bivector. For example, torque is generally defined as the magnitude of the perpendicular force component times distance, or work per unit angle.

Torsion of a square section bar Example of torsion mechanics. In the field of solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque [1] [2].Torsion could be defined as strain [3] [4] or angular deformation [5], and is measured by the angle a chosen section is rotated from its equilibrium position [6].
