  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    Therefore any force directed parallel to the particle's position vector does not produce a torque. [9] [10] The magnitude of torque applied to a rigid body depends on three quantities: the force applied, the lever arm vector [11] connecting the point about which the torque is being measured to the point of force application, and the angle ...

  3. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    The work done by a torque acting on an object equals the magnitude of the torque times the angle through which the torque is applied: =. The power of a torque is equal to the work done by the torque per unit time, hence: P = τ ω . {\displaystyle P=\tau \omega .}

  4. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    m 2 ⋅ A. Dimension. L2I. In electromagnetism, the magnetic moment or magnetic dipole moment is the combination of strength and orientation of a magnet or other object or system that exerts a magnetic field. The magnetic dipole moment of an object determines the magnitude of torque the object experiences in a given magnetic field.

  5. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. Their general vector form is. where M is the applied torques and I is the inertia matrix.

  6. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    For now just consider the magnitude of the torque on the pendulum. | τ | = − m g ℓ sin ⁡ θ , {\displaystyle |{\boldsymbol {\tau }}|=-mg\ell \sin \theta ,} where m is the mass of the pendulum, g is the acceleration due to gravity, l is the length of the pendulum, and θ is the angle between the length vector and the force due to gravity.

  7. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Dimension. L T−3. Jerk (also known as jolt) is the rate of change of an object's acceleration over time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jerk is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s 3 (SI units) or standard gravities per second (g0 /s).

  8. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    Both the torque and force exerted on a magnet by an external magnetic field are proportional to that magnet's magnetic moment. The magnetic moment is a vector: it has both a magnitude and direction. The direction of the magnetic moment points from the south to north pole of a magnet (inside the magnet).

  9. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The shape of the magnetic fields of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet are revealed by the orientation of iron filings sprinkled on pieces of paper. A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field[1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials.
