Question is as follows:
Average torque on a Projectile of mass $m$ with initial speed $u$ and angle of projection $θ$ between initial $(P)$ and final $(Q)$ positions is
I researched a lot but wherever I saw they used the following way
$$\vec{r}=ucos\theta.t$$
$$\vec{F}=mg$$
$$t=\frac{2usin\theta}{g}$$
This implies
$$\vec{\tau_{avg}}=\frac{\vec{r}×\vec{F}}{t}$$
But I want to solve this using integration but I'm not able to.
Kindly help me
$\begingroup$Torque about what point in space? And what does "average torque" mean? That's undefined.. Time averaged, position averaged, other?$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$@BillN Average Torque implies sum of torques at each point in the projectile divided by the total time taken to complete the path of the projectile$\endgroup$
