Torque is a force applied through a lever arm to generate angular motion in the object. Its a vector, that means its has both direction & magnitude. Torque = Force x Lever arm

Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The object rotates about an axis, which we will call the pivot point, and will label 'O'. We will call the force 'F'. The distance from the pivot point to the point where the force acts is called the moment arm,...

Helium atom has an atomic mass of 4u and two protons in its nucleus. How many neutrons does it have?
Mass number of Helium = 4 Number of protons = 2 Number of neutrons(n) = Number of Mass(A) — Number of proton (P) = 4 – 2 = 2 Thus, No. of neutrons = 2
