A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Torque

A measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis, often used in context with engines and mechanical devices.

Centerline Of Rotation

The imaginary line around which an object, often a mechanical component, rotates, serving as the axis for analysis and design.

  • Calculate torque and understand its importance in transmission systems.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Both statements are correct. Torque is indeed required to make any rotating object turn, and it is calculated by multiplying the force applied by its distance from the centerline of rotation.
