Torque is a measure of strength of a force to effect rotation of a body.
Let $\mathbf F$ be a force acting at a point on a body $B$.
Let $B$ rotate around a point $O$ as a consequence of the action of $\mathbf F$.
Let $\mathbf r$ be the position vector of $P$ with respect to $O$, that is:
- $\mathbf r = \vec {OP}$
The torque about $O$ is defined as the cross product of the vector $\mathbf r$ and $\mathbf F$:
- $\bstau = \mathbf r \times \mathbf F$
