In our daily lives, we sometimes
never noticed that the element and movement of things that small or large are
more related in physics that we have learned in school until we are continued
our study in university level.
One of the physics element that i
like to share is about 'Torque'.I have
experience in relation to the physics known as the torque. Before entering the
university, if there is a free weekend, I and my younger sister will go to the
playground near the house to fill our free time in the evening. without me
guessing the game has a physics element that exists.For
example, see saw that has a torque element inside it.Seesaws
are a good example of torque. Many people have had the experience of someone
sitting on one end of the seesaw and another person sitting on the other end;
and one person is heavier than the other. By sitting closer to the pivot, the
heavier person can decrease their torque because the length of the moment arm
will be shorter than that of the smaller person. The smaller lever arm results
in smaller torque allowing lighter people to lift heavier ones.
