I'd been trying to wrap my head around the right hand rule for a while, and this made so much more sense than anything else I've found. I didn't realize it was this simple and was overthinking it for sure. I commend you on creating a very informative video that accomplished the goal in less than 6 minutes. Thank you so much for making videos like this.
this video allowed me to understand perfectly a concept that my textbook does a terrible job at explaining. I guess I'm now gonna be binge-watching your videos from now until my final
Thank you thank you thank you! You just saved my physics lab. Nobody explained how to find torque's direction, just to record it. This is amazingly helpful.
Wow....thank you so much....u cleared my doubt so easily....in such a less time....really thankful to you sir...ur content and presentation was just next level
Wow thank you for helping me. I'm in eight grade and i've been reading Physics books for my own interest, but i've gotten to the torque section now and i didn't quite understand the right-hand-rule, but now i do! :D
Hey fellas.... fellow?? I was lucky to find your channel. I barely passed algebra in High School but developed and an unquenchable thirst for Physics, Cosmology etc.. I cant tell if you all are qusdrupletes or are pulling a gag.... my money is on the Q Theory. Anyway. I love what you are doing. I understand a lot of concepts related tp science but I lost interest in school and never learned the math. I love your shows and the way you act it out is worthy of the info you provide. I try to direct traffic your way and feel you are criminally under subscribed. Please keep up the awesome work. And, again, each charator is brilliant. You may have a future in films guys.... guy?? TTYL.
Thank you for your lovely words. If you watch the following video, it should help clear some of your confusion. flippingphysics.com/making-a-video.html
Hey Mr P., The equation shown at 5:03 should be the expression for the magnitude of the torque, which is a function of the magnitude of the applied force and the magnitude of the displacement. But the equation expresses all three terms as vectors. The vector form of the torque is expressed as the cross product of the Force vector and the displacement.
Interesting point. The algebra class I teach does not include the cross product version of torque. (The calculus one does.) It had never really occurred to me that the rFsinθ version is only the magnitude of the torque. My concern here is that not giving it vector symbols will contribute to students forgetting torque is a vector. I can see how you are correct though. Thanks!
This video was very informative and edited amazingly for something as dry as learning the right hand rule. I have an exam in less than a week and I'll be thinking of this video. Thanks!
Is the direction or sign of torque simply a convention? Similar to how velocity (e.g., moving to the right) can be labeled as positive or negative depending on the context?
What a fantastic video dude, I loved you had so many examples. I have looked more than 10 videos about this and I finally understood. I would find it very helpful if you do one in the 3D dimension. Thanks again greetings.
An alternative way to find the direction of torque that I've seen is to imagine the AOR is the center of a coordinate plane, and the if the force was to go in a circle around the coordinate plane if it counts up the quadrants there is positive torque, and if it counts down then it is negative. Example: at 1:15 the torque is positive because the force goes from being between quadrants 2 and 3 and it would go from quadrant 3>4>1>2 so positive torque. This method is easier for me personally so I don't need to use a memorization technique, let me know what you guys think.
What does it actually mean when we say tourque is perpendicular to the plane does it really have any effect in perpendicular . Like i wolud feel something if i stand in front of axis of rotation of a body. Or this direction is just a convention? Please answer
I just memorized that counter clockwise is always positive, since im also doing Pre Calculus that just clicks (and obviously clockwise is therefore negative)
I have a doubt sir , plz clarify it , it will be really useful. why doesnt the object move in the direction of torque applied , rather why does it move in the direction of the applied force
Earlier I thought torque direction in the direction of tangential force applied. I am not able visualise torque direction along an axis upward or downward. If torque is coupling force, I assumed torque direction should be along the direction of rotation. Can yu clear this how torque acting along an axis upward or downward
Think of which way a nut on a threaded fastener would move along the threaded fastener, as you apply a torque to it. Spin it clockwise, and it travels away from you. Spin it counter-clockwise, and it travels toward you. The right-handed threads means it translates according to a right-hand rule per how you rotate it.
Hello! I’m still having a bit of an issue understanding the right hand rule, and I was wondering if you could help me out. I understand the first 2 example, but I get confused when the force comes at an angle. Specifically, I think I’m confused when he says "point fingers toward the force" because I have trouble identifying where the force is coming from. I appreciate if you could better clarify it for me!
I have one doubt , i don't know if it's relevant to ask or not but my question is what does the direction do when we find the direction of torque.. or any other quantity... here we know that it is in clockwise or in anti clockwise then what does the direction of torque do!! I have a confusion on this.. !! Thank u ... I hope u reply ASAP
You are brilliant. But you have so less subscribers! It doesnt seem justified at all considering how much efforts u put in your video. Pls continue to make these video anyways!! Love from India🇮🇳 🙂🙂❤️
wholy shit you explained this so well! I literally did not understand this earlier, and you have the hand animation images were helpful for people that learn visually much appreciated thank you!

@@susanzhu2928 Point your pointer finger from the reference point (or axis of rotation) to the point at which the force is applied. Point your middle finger in the direction the force is applied. Your thumb will identify the direction of the torque. Another way to think about it. Suppose the object is threaded to its axis of rotation, like a nut on a threaded rod, instead of free to spin. Which way will the object translate along the threaded rod as a consequence of applying the torque? Assume a standard right hand thread, hence why we call it the right hand rule.
best video for understanding torque. I have one question, Does earlier people use clockwise torque , which is into the board as positive then later change its direction? I am studying Civil Engineering and while taking assumption some people and most of the book here use clockwise moment as Positive while doing assumption and finally whatever moment you assume you get finally your correct sense of moment and we say positive if beam deflect down and negative if deflect up. By the way I want to use Same thing in physics and in engineering but why people do this type of things.

You're very welcome!
Thank you for breaking this down, I've been struggling to understand this rule
Glad to help!
Imagine missing one class of physics. The next day, you see classmates twisting and turning their hands. THANK YOU!!!!
😂😂😂
this video allowed me to understand perfectly a concept that my textbook does a terrible job at explaining. I guess I'm now gonna be binge-watching your videos from now until my final
Pure brilliance. May your channel grow exponentially.

You are so welcome!
Thank you for putting it into numerical steps! It made it much, much easier to understand.
why did i just discovered this channel before 13 days of the exam lol, amazing!! thank you so much
probably the best explanation i’ve seen
Wow thank you for helping me. I'm in eight grade and i've been reading Physics books for my own interest, but i've gotten to the torque section now and i didn't quite understand the right-hand-rule, but now i do! :D
Glad you help. I suggest the rest of my videos for your learning as well!

my prof is so bad bro is the goat
Mr.P: what handy tool we'll use,
Me: Hand???

Thank you so much sir . You are awesome 🙏
Immediately subscribed based on haircut to t-shirt ration. Im in! Great VIDEO!
Glad you enjoyed the t-shirts.
Such an awesome explanation.
isn't the right hand rule the same as coterminal and terminal angle?
this is beyond helpful! thank you!! love from Malaysia
You are welcome!
This was really helpful thank you
You are welcome.
Thanks it helps a lot.
Great video!
Thanks professor helped a lot !!
I have one doubt , i don't know if it's relevant to ask or not but my question is what does the direction do when we find the direction of torque.. or any other quantity... here we know that it is in clockwise or in anti clockwise then what does the direction of torque do!! I have a confusion on this.. !!
Thank u ...
I hope u reply ASAP
Super explaining
Me encantó la explicación, saludos de México :)
life saving thank you

Tq...... u tq u so much sir😀😀u helped me a lot through ur vedios😊
Wonderful to know!
thank you so much professor.
Does this this account for couple moment forces?
u got some intelligent students :)
Thanks, now i understand right hand rule
you are a godsend thank you so much
❤️
Nice explained
Splendid explanation....tq u sir
You are welcome.
you are a legend
You are brilliant. But you have so less subscribers! It doesnt seem justified at all considering how much efforts u put in your video. Pls continue to make these video anyways!! Love from India🇮🇳 🙂🙂❤️
I totally agree. I wish more people would find my videos!
this is what im asking for. when and how to use my right hand in many occasions. not what is a right hand rule
wholy shit you explained this so well! I literally did not understand this earlier, and you have the hand animation images were helpful for people that learn visually much appreciated thank you!
