Given information
Given:
Is it possible for an object to have zero net torque but nonzero net force?
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis. Force is what causes an object to move in linear kinetics. Similarly, torque is what causes angular acceleration. Therefore, torque can be defined as the rotational equivalent of the linear force.
