| - | Notice that if the lever arm point in the same (or precisely opposite directions) the torque is zero. The cross product of two parallel or anti-parallel vectors is zero. | + | Notice that if the applied force and the lever arm point in the same (or precisely opposite directions) the torque is zero. The cross product of two parallel or anti-parallel vectors is zero. |
