In summary, the conversation discusses the difference between two actions with the same average torque per revolution, but with one having a higher peak instantaneous torque in one revolution. The graph provided shows the distribution of torque in one revolution for both actions. There is no category of "impulsive torque" in this example as torque is simply torque. The question also asks if there are any advantages to having a higher peak torque even with the same average torque.

What is the difference between two actions where average torque / revolution is same; however peak instantaneous torque in one revolution is higher in first action. distribution of torque in one revolution is given in the image, the average torque per revolution for both are same.

The difference is exactly what the graph shows. Different amounts of torque at different angles - one peaks higher... There's nothing you can categorize as "impulsive torque" in your example; torque is just torque.

Does the one peaks higher has any advantages. even though average torque is same
 

FAQ: What is the effect of impulsive torque ?

What is impulsive torque?

Impulsive torque is a type of rotational force that is applied suddenly and briefly to an object. It is usually caused by a sudden change in the object's momentum or by an external force acting on the object.

How does impulsive torque affect an object?

The effect of impulsive torque on an object depends on the magnitude and direction of the force, as well as the object's moment of inertia. It can cause the object to rotate, change its angular velocity, or even break if the force is too strong.

What are some examples of impulsive torque in everyday life?

Some examples of impulsive torque include a hammer hitting a nail, a baseball bat hitting a ball, or a car suddenly braking. These all involve a sudden and brief application of force that causes the object to rotate.

How is impulsive torque different from continuous torque?

Impulsive torque is a brief and sudden force, while continuous torque is a constant force applied over a period of time. Impulsive torque can cause instantaneous changes in an object's rotation, while continuous torque causes a gradual change.

How can impulsive torque be calculated?

The magnitude of impulsive torque can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance from the axis of rotation. The direction of the torque is perpendicular to both the force and the distance vectors. This can be represented mathematically as τ = F x r.
