I have a simple question regarding the direction of torque vectors and I
would appreciate if anyone give me tips: I understand torque vectors are
orientated perpendicular to the plane in which the moment arm and force
vectors exist and the right-hand-thumb rule is used to tell whether it is
orientated at the right angle into or out of the page. My question is: what
is the practical use of knowing the direction of torque vectors?; Are they
just concepts which faciltate the understanding of dynamic forces?
