QuoteCurrent SI system makes them dimensionally equivalent. Nothing to do with SI, which simply names the quantities. Energy and torque are indeed dimensionally equivalent but because they are different entities (energy is a scalar, torque is a vector) , SI gives them different names and different units.SI is really nothing more than a universal multilingual dictionary. You might be less confused if you used the German word for torque: Drehkraft.

QuoteThe formula v = ω . r implies r = v / ω Numerically, yes. Logically, no. Remember the convention: effect = f(cause).when dealing with torque, r is not an effect
The formula v = ω . r implies r = v / ω
QuoteYou only need to determine the behavior of rotational axis while being influenced by force. which you have still failed to do.

Both Newtonian gravity and Hooke's law admit elliptical orbits in 3D (or 2D, same thing since all solutions are planar), but is it a coincidence? Newton said no, but this connection was only discovered accidentally when he was trying to deduce why gravity obeys inverse square law from astronomical observations at the time. In fact, if you know the history between Newton and Hooke, you will find the close connection between these two forces ironic!This channel is meant to showcase interesting but underrated maths (and physics) topics and approaches, either with completely novel topics, or a well-known topic with a novel approach. If the novel approach resonates better with you, great! But the videos have never meant to be pedagogical - in fact, please please PLEASE do NOT use YouTube videos to learn a subject.
Is it still a Newton meter?
What if the angle between force and displacement is 45 degrees?
if F = m . a, then a = F / mWould you say that the last formula above is not logically correct?
Here's another example.V = I . R implies that I = V / R

Quoteif F = m . a, then a = F / mWould you say that the last formula above is not logically correct? No, the second formula is conventionally correct: acceleration is the result (effect) of applying a force to a mass (cause). That was Newton's logical deduction from observation. ("Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force....")QuoteHere's another example.V = I . R implies that I = V / R Again, you have got the logic backwards. A current (effect) flows when you apply a potential across a conductor (cause). A conductor does not spontaneously generate a potential difference between its ends.
True. But not every torque produces rotation.Here's another example of two quantities being dimensionally equivalent but entirely unrelated: The amount of coal burned to keep a steam locomotive running is measured in pounds per mile (ML-1).The weight of nylon thread woven into a parachute is measured in pounds per mile (ML-1) Both very important quantities in their own context but with no logical connection..
