Concept explainers

Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.

Question

A heavy crate rests on the bed of a flatbed truck. When the truck accelerates, the crate stays fixed on the truck, so it, too, accelerates. What force causes the crate to accelerate?
