Torque Calculation
 |
In the diagram, the angle is the angle <= 180 degrees between the r and F vectors when they are drawn from the same origin. The direction of the torque is given be the right hand rule, which gives a vector out toward the reader in this case. Note that the torque is maximum when the angle is 90 degrees. |
