Thank you for replying sir,when we say torque about a point,do we assume the axis is perpendicular to the plane passing through that point?and we study torque and angular momentum to analyse the rotational motion of a body,what is the use of calculating torque and angular momentum about a point...
I know that to calculate the torque about an axis, we can choose any point on that axis and find the torque about that point and take the component along the direction of the axis.Buy what is the proof behind this theorem?
