Here's a breakdown:

* Torque is a twisting force that tends to cause rotation.

* Fulcrum is the pivot point around which a lever rotates.

* The force applied at a distance from the fulcrum creates a turning effect, which is quantified as torque.

Formula for Torque:

Torque (τ) = Force (F) x Distance from fulcrum (r)

Key points:

* Torque is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

* The direction of torque is determined by the right-hand rule.

* Torque is measured in Newton-meters (Nm).
