Understanding Angular Force

Angular force is the force required to cause an object to rotate around an axis. It is calculated using the formula:

F = m × r × α

Where:
F = Angular Force (Newtons, N)
m = Mass of the object (kilograms, kg)
r = Radius of rotation (meters, m)
α = Angular acceleration (radians per second squared, rad/s²)

Example Application

If you have a 5 kg object placed 0.3 meters from the axis of rotation, and you want to accelerate it at 2 rad/s², the angular force required would be:

F = 5 kg × 0.3 m × 2 rad/s² = 3.00 N

This means you would need to apply a force of 3.00 Newtons to achieve this angular acceleration.
