The best way that I could understand is that you're trading force with distance, the more distance you got, the less force applied, the less distance you got, the more force needed
That's what I assumed, except based on what he drew, the distance is constant, isn't it? Like d is just the distance between the fulcrum point and the other end of the crowbar, so just the length of the crowbar, right? That's not gonna change. So yeah I don't actually get it please explain
@@althealligator1467 I guess it's the distance you need to travel to move something with less distance to move, if the input put more distance and the output have less distance, it gets mote force You only need to pull just a little bit for the plant to break off, so if you put a long lever(crowbar) and use it to pull up the plant, you only need less force.
@@kakyoindonut3213 ok that makes more sense, the distance is how much you move the crowbar, not the length of the crowbar like in the drawing. I guess my question then is... why? Why does distance become a new parameter when you've got a lever? Also it takes a specific amount of force in newtons to rip out the plant, right? How exactly does torque correspond to that force? Hell if T=F×d then is the torque's unit of measurement N×m?
@althealligator1467 you need longer crowbar to move more distance? No? Idfk about those units and how it mathematically correlates, but I guess by distance, it's like spreading out the force equally into the distance. So idk about these units, but if you need 5 force to move something by 1 unit, and you can only output 1 force at a time, you could use a lever that's 5 unit long and spread out 1 force for each unit that's being moved, in order to move that something for 1 unit
It's totally alright bro some of the concepts he covers are college-level. All you gotta do is excel at the physics you get taught each school year. The level gets upgraded each year you pass and your mind becomes broader and more welcoming to more complex ideas. Keep at it and you'll get there!!
This is a very bad explanation. In fact it's not even an explanation. You didn't explain why the force is greater, you just stated the principle of torque. The reason for the greater force is geometry & the conservation of energy; if you rotate a bar around a point some distance from its center then the two ends will travel through arcs of different distances. Energy is force × distance, no energy is lost, yet the distance decreased, so the force must increase to compensate.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING! Also thank you, you saved me. I’ve been watching video after video “explaining” what torque is, only to be met with “torque is torque” over and over again… including this video. Your explanation of it makes sense though!
@thereisnobread1234 Happy to have helped. It took me around six months of passive thinking to figure it out because, as you said, every explanation is not an explanation at all. Also if you're confused about why it's F×d×sin(theta) that's because F×sin(theta) gives the perpendicular component of F which is what contributes to the torque; pushing or pulling parallel to the lever does nothing.
that’s a moment
Underrated comment 😂 Failed ME major here
And more specifically, you apply the same force but over a longer distance.

That is because the stress gets distributed in the body
Guys I’m in 8th grade and I really want to be a physicist when I grow up but I only understand 75-80% of what he says in most of his videos 😔
Dont be sad, you will eventually get it..
We need more young bright minds like you bro
If you need more precision you can always ask some AI or people

Watch different teachers
@@ahamed8878 thanks bro
Woopty doo, after watching this wonderful educational content I now understand torque, my life is complete 😜
Okay. But, what kind of machinery can torque be applied?
So your saying Work = Torque
ok
Hi
In which dimension is God
The imagination dimension

This one lol
