Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force and is defined as the product of force and the distance from the point of rotation (lever arm) at which the force acts. In static equilibrium, the sum of all torques acting on an object about any point must equal zero. This ensures that there is no net rotational motion, maintaining the object in a stable position.
