Q: What is the rotational equivalent of a force?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The magnitude, direction, and point of application of the force are incorporated into the definition of the physical quantity called torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force. It is a measure of the effectiveness of a force in changing or accelerating a rotation (changing the angular velocity over a period of time). In equation form, the magnitude of torque is defined to be.

 Choices:

- momentum

- power

- centripetal force

- torque


A:
torque
