Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the unit of torque in the SI system?
  • Step 1: Understand what torque is. Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.
  • Step 2: Know the basic units involved. In the SI system, force is measured in Newtons (N) and distance is measured in meters (m).
  • Step 3: Realize that torque is calculated by multiplying force by distance. The formula is Torque = Force x Distance.
  • Step 4: Since force is in Newtons and distance is in meters, when you multiply them together, you get Newton-meters (Nm).
  • Step 5: Conclude that the unit of torque in the SI system is Newton-meter (Nm).
