1. Identify all individual torques acting on the object. 2. Determine the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of each torque. 3. Sum all torques, considering counterclockwise torques as positive and clockwise torques as negative.

1. Calculate the net torque acting on the object. 2. Determine the moment of inertia (I) of the object. 3. Use the formula $\sum \vec{\tau} = I \vec{\alpha}$ to find the angular acceleration ($\vec{\alpha}$).

1. Point your fingers in the direction of the position vector ($\vec{r}$). 2. Curl your fingers towards the direction of the force vector ($\vec{F}$). 3. Your thumb points in the direction of the torque vector ($\vec{\tau}$).

1. Identify all torques acting on the system. 2. Determine the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of each torque. 3. Calculate the net torque. 4. If the net torque is zero, the system is in rotational equilibrium.

1. Draw a free-body diagram. 2. Choose a rotation axis. 3. Calculate the individual torques. 4. Set the sum of torques to zero. 5. Solve for unknowns.

It causes angular acceleration, changing the object's angular velocity.

The object maintains a constant angular velocity (rotational equilibrium).

It increases the magnitude of the torque, assuming the force remains constant.

It decreases the angular acceleration.

There is no torque generated, and the object will only undergo translational motion.

The state where an object maintains a constant angular velocity due to zero net torque.

The rotational equivalent of force, calculated as $\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$, causing an object to rotate.

The rate at which an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, i.e. how many radians per second the object turns.

The rate of change of angular velocity, resulting from a net torque.

A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation rate. Represented by 'I' in rotational dynamics.

An object maintains a constant angular velocity unless acted upon by a net torque.
