Definition of torque in the (possibly accelerating) centre of mass frame
My lecture note states that the torque in the centre of mass frame ($O^*$) of a rigid body is: $$\bf{G^*}=\sum \bf{r^* \times F}$$
where $\bf{F}$ denotes the real force that is producing the torque

In rotational motion, why $a = rα$?
The formula of torque is given by $$τ= F*r = Iα,$$ while solving some questions I came across a question of rotating pulley where these two formulas were equated to find value of $α$. How $a=rα$? a ...

Torque, Angular Acceleration and Linear Acceleration
We know that we torque is applied, it cause an angular acceleration in the rotating body similar to what a force does to a body moving on a straight line.
But my question is, Does Torque affect the ...
