Torque about an Axis

JEE Main asked Torque about an Axis 2 times in 2 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2017 and 2025. It belongs to Torque and Equilibrium, in System of Particles and Rotational Motion (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 8 years, across 2018 and 2019, which Lumi has no shifts for.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2017 and 2025. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.

Raw count: 2017: 1 in 1 shift · 2020: 0 in 12 shifts · 2021: 0 in 24 shifts · 2022: 0 in 24 shifts · 2023: 0 in 12 shifts · 2024: 0 in 18 shifts · 2025: 1 in 8 shifts · 2026: 0 in 9 shifts.
