Torque Calculation

JEE Main asked Torque Calculation 7 times in 7 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. It belongs to Torque and Equilibrium, in System of Particles and Rotational Motion (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 1 year. In 2021 and 2023 it came in more than one shift of the same year.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.
