      The position of COM is mass weighted average of the positions of particles.

      The first condition of equilibrium is that the net force in all directions must be zero.

      We will now show that the torque about a point S is equal to the time derivative of the angular momentum about S.

      When solving static problems, you need to identify all forces and torques, confirm directions, solve equations, and check the results.

      The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object, no change of angular momentum will occur.

The sign of the torque is found using the right hand rule. The net torque can be found from summing the individual torques about a given axis.

      The angular momentum of an object is a measure of how difficult it is to stop that object from spinning. For an object rotating about a fixed axis, the angular momentum depends on how fast the object ...The angular momentum of an object is a measure of how difficult it is to stop that object from spinning. For an object rotating about a fixed axis, the angular momentum depends on how fast the object is spinning, and on the object's rotational inertia (also known as moment of inertia) with respect to that axis.

      The direction of angular quantities, such as angular velocity and angular momentum, is determined by using the right hand rule.

(It is best to leave the units as N m rather than to express torque in joules.)
