Answer 1

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the length of the lever by the tangential component of force on the lever.

What is torque?

Torque is the rotating equivalent of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

How do we define 1 N-m of torque?

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long moment arm is known as a newton-metre.
