able to rotate about an axis is given as τ = F d where d is the lever or moment arm of F about axis. It is equal to the perpendicular distance from axis to F. Torque is a vector quantity that is perpendicular to the plane made by F and d. For rigid bodies in equilibrium, they should not have neither linear nor angular acceleration. This means that two conditions must be satisfied simultaneously; the total force acting on the object is zero and the total torque should also be zero. Hence

INT1Task 3 An Investigation of Averaged Radiation and the Properties of CO2 Abstract The methodology used when calculating the effective temperature of rotating planetary bodies treats the average input over an entire rotation as a valid approximation of the overall energy received. The resulting temperature calculations are assumed to be accurate enough to be used as working inputs for climatological models or the theories they are derived from. Research and examination of radiation laws
