What does an off center applied torque do?

vendredi 29 novembre 2013

I know that if a force is applied off center (as in: not in the center of gravity), one can split them up in an equal force and a moment in/about the center of gravity. But what about a torque applied offcenter?



Maybe this image clarifies my problem:





So the force will be split op in a force-moment couple at the center of gravity... But what to do with the applied torque? (Or moment, depends on how you look at things)
