• Definition: When a force makes an object free to spin about an axis. BUT this is only if the force isn't acting directly on the axis. It’s like opening a door by pushing its handle!
• Measured in: Newton-meters (Nm).
• Torque has:
  • Size (Magnitude) 📏
  • Direction 🧭

🚀 Real-world example: Think of a seesaw in a playground. If a kid pushes one end (not at the center), it’ll spin around its central support! That’s torque.

• Many parts of our body spin about axes. This is especially true in our synovial joints (like our knees and elbows).
• Muscle arrangements in relation to joints = Determines torque around each joint.

🍖 Fun fact: This torque concept is tied to levers. Think of our bones as those rigid rods spinning around axes/joints.
