Torque is a Vector NOT a Force

Apologies in advance, I do go on a bit of a rant with this one. I suppose in Engineering, terminology is paramount, and also understanding the terms used. It's probably not massively important to everyone, but it should be ;-) When rotating my hand over the axis I am demonstrating Torque cross product. The thumb on my right hand is effectively pointing out of the board if I were to grip the axis. All that means is that as I curl my fingers around it shows the direction in which the object will rotate, in this instance that would be in a positive counter clockwise direction, indicated by the positive symbol showing a force in that direction. If you know anything about the cross product for calculating Torque, you will understand my fingers would effectively be in the direction of the first vector which is R, and then as they close they cross or sweep into F, and my thumb pointing in the direction of the resultant. I will do another video on the cross product for calculating Torque which may have helped to understand my thought process while ranting. I really do appreciate the views, and those of you that have subscribed, also subscribed recently, thank you muchly. It REALLY is appreciated. Now, go buy a sticker! The Shed.
