"According to English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727), an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. A force, therefore, is what causes any object to move. Any force that causes an object to rotate, turn, or twist is called a torque. In physics, torque is often described as a rotational force. Torque is equal to the amount of force (F) being exerted on the object times the object's rotation point to the location where the force is being applied on the object (r)" (Torque, 2021).
