Work done by a torque
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: It is well known that the work done by a torque, τ, during a small angular displacement d θ is given by τ d θ . The same relation applies if a ball is rolling down an incline, even if the torque arises from a static friction force. However, it is usually assumed that the work done by a static friction force is zero.
