Slide 2

Two alternate ways of depicting torque are shown in figures here. In the left-hand figure the torque is shown as a loop with an arrow depicting its direction. In the right-hand figure the torque is shown as a vector moment. The direction of the moment is parallel to the shaft. The sign of the moment can be understood using the right hand rule. The rule is that if you rotate your right hand in the direction of the applied torque, then, your thumb points in the direction of the vector indicated by two arrowheads in the right-hand figure.
