Re: What's something you don't understand, even when it's explained to you?

[dethtoll]

My vague "I got an F" remembering of physics tells me that torque is basically rotational force, as opposed to straight push-or-pull force.

Yeah, that's about as much as I understand of it too. I don't understand how it actually affects anything or why we would ever need to know how to calculate it in a real-world context.

Maybe that's just asking too much.

[dethtoll]

Well I can think of a few practical applications. Anything to do with a twisting or rotational force, such as a doorknob (and the door itself once you swing it open) or, for a very practical application that professional shooters (soldiers, police, whatever) have to take into account is that of the rotation of a bullet, or for example how much force (torque) was applied to the screws holding the gun together, which is a major factor that manufacturers, gunsmiths and enthusiasts take into consideration.

[herpymcderp]

Fair enough. Hadn't even considered that last point, which seems like an oversight in retrospect.

Thanks!

It's also really important for automobiles. It's important for anything that experience rotational force - tall buildings can fail if the wind hitting it causes enough rotation.
