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,...
