Talk:Torque

Yo, how about putting the first paragraph in plain English, for us laymen? I took 2 years of physics, and I couldn't follow all that. Take a breath, man.

Better now? -- Tim Starling

Is torque normally written with the letter τ, by the way? I thought it was the letter N. -- []Cyp[]

Never seen that before. In most of physics, N is used for the total number of particles. Also, it's usually a bold τ, which unfortunately is not rendered correctly by our version of TeX. -- Tim Starling

You can use \boldsymbol{} to do bold greek letters for vectors. I've changed the article (please check for correctness), and I'll add the command to the Tex-markup help for reference. -- DrBob 16:01 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)

I've written some opening remarks in what I hope will pass for English. Michael Hardy 18:52 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)
