Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Torque is the turning force that determines how much work can be done by a machine or a specific part of a machine. It is measured in units of force times distance (such as foot-pounds or newton-meters). Energy and power are related concepts, but they do not directly determine the amount of work that can be performed, whereas torque does.
