Unbalanced torques produce rotational accelerations, and balanced torques produce rotational equilibrium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unbalanced torques result in rotational accelerations as they cause an object to start rotating, speed up, slow down, or change direction. Balanced torques, on the other hand, mean that all torques cancel out, resulting in no change in rotational motion, thus maintaining rotational equilibrium.
