Torque

Summary

This video uses a series of examples and student-active segments to investigate the concepts of torque and equilibrium. The primary context is balance in the human body. Students are involved in partner activities, brainstorms, and problem-solving segments as the video progresses.

Learning Objectives

After watching this video students will be able to:

• Draw torque diagrams
• Practice setting up torque problems
• Determine whether someone can balance
