<p>torque = F(perpendicular) *R (radius) (check me on this). so the shorter the radius is from the center, the more force you need to generate the same torque if it were from a longer radius.</p>
<p>Looks correct to me (To put it in more mathematical terms: Torque = F * sin (theta) * R)</p>
<p>And for those in Physics C...</p>
<p>Torque = Force X R (cross product)...(so...that's why the magnitude of Torque = F * sin(theta) * R).</p>
<p>Ahhh... we must be really behind in Physics,
We have JUST started talking about Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Force...
where are you all at? where should I be?
what can should I do?</p>
<p>well slow paced learning cant be bad :D just buy barrons and read ahead and prepare yourself. I think its much better than a uber fast paced class</p>
<p>Yeah. that's the stuff we are doing now. Just finishing up all of the radial things then moving into electricity and magnetism once we get back from Thanksgiving break</p>
