Stigma (letter) Stigma (letter) Stigma (ϛ) is a ligature of the Greek letters sigma (Σ) and tau (Τ), which was used in writing Greek between the Middle Ages and the 19th century. It is also used as a numeral symbol for the number 6. In this unrelated function, it is a continuation of the old letter digamma (originally Ϝ, cursive form ), which had served as a numeral since antiquity and was conflated with the σ-τ ligature in the minuscule handwriting of the Middle Ages. The στ ligature (, ) was one of many ligature forms that came into widespread use as
Torque Σ"τ" = 0. That is, to solve statically determinate equilibrium problems in two-dimensions, three equations are used. When the net force on the system is zero, the torque measured from any point in space is the same. For example, the torque on a current-carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field is the same regardless of your point of reference. If the net force formula_26 is not zero, and formula_27 is the torque measured from formula_28, then the torque measured from formula_29 is … formula_30 Torque is part of the basic specification of an engine: the power output of an engine
