What is the torque equation used in the context of a pulley system?
Torque = R + F
Torque = R * F * sin(Theta)
Torque = F / R
Torque = R - F

Why is the sin(Theta) term always equal to one in the torque equation for a belt and pulley system?
Because the belt is always perpendicular to the radius vector
Because the belt is always at a 30-degree angle to the radius vector
Because the belt is always parallel to the radius vector
Because the belt is always at a 45-degree angle to the radius vector
