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.
T is the applied torque L is the beam length G is the modulus of rigidity (shear modulus) of the material J is the torsional constant. Inverting the previous relation, we can define two quantities; the torsional rigidity, = with SI units N⋅m 2 /rad. And the torsional stiffness,
Since the angular velocity ω = v/r is constant, the area swept out in a time Δt equals ω r 2 Δt; hence, equal areas are swept out in equal times Δt. In uniform linear motion (i.e., motion in the absence of a force, by Newton's first law of motion), the particle moves with constant velocity, that is, with constant speed v along a line.
Therefore, the spring constant k, and each element of the tensor κ, is measured in newtons per meter (N/m), or kilograms per second squared (kg/s 2). For continuous media, each element of the stress tensor σ is a force divided by an area; it is therefore measured in units of pressure, namely pascals (Pa, or N/m 2 , or kg/(m·s 2 ).
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.
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]
