If a force is applied at an angle to a lever (not 90 °, not 0 °), what is the process by which you determine the torque applied to the lever by that force?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS: Resolve the force into its components, which are perpendicular (rotatory) and parallel (translatory)
to the lever. Torque for the force is then determined by multiplying the magnitude of the rotatory
component by its distance (lever arm) from the joint axis.
