Interactive Rotation Explorer
Two experiments: change where the force acts, and change its direction. The disc spins live in the sense the torque predicts.
Part A — Change the Point of Application
Drag the orange force handle along the disc. The force points right: above the pivot → clockwise, below the pivot → anticlockwise.

Part B — Change the Direction of Force
Point of application is fixed. Drag the orange tip to rotate the force vector and watch the rotation sense flip.
