Question

Turning effect of force is____________.

Answer 1

Torque.

1. Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
2. Thus, turning effect of force is called torque.
3. $\mathrm{Torque}=\mathrm{distance}\times \mathrm{Force}\times \mathrm{Sin}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{angle}\mathrm{between}\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{Force}$
4. Torque is also called as the moment of force.
5. The SI unit of torque is $Nm$.

Hence, the turning effect of force is torque.
