If torque is the cross product of R and F, doesnt that imply that a perpendicular force on, say, a door, should produce no force?
magnitude of cross product = |r| x |F| x cos(θ)
Where r is the vector from the hinge to the application of force.
Isnt θ here pi, making cos(θ) = 0 and thus making the magnitude zero?
What part of this have I misunderstood?
