Torque and work are both equal to force time distance. How do they differ ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain the difference between torque and work, we need to analyze their definitions, mathematical representations, and physical meanings step by step. ### Step 1: Definition of Work Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Mathematically, it is represented as: \[ W = \mathbf{F} \cdot \Delta \mathbf{S} \] where \( \mathbf{F} \) is the force vector and \( \Delta \mathbf{S} \) is the displacement vector. The dot product indicates that only the component of the force that acts in the direction of the displacement does work. ...
