Torque is very similar to moment force — in fact, they’re often used interchangeably.

Torque is a
measure of the rotational force that causes an object to spin around an axis or pivot point. In simple
terms, it’s what makes things rotate.

The formula for torque is:

Torque=Force×Distance from the pivot (or axis)

Where:

 Force is the push or pull applied to an object.

 Distance is the length from the pivot point or axis to where the force is applied (this is also called
the "lever arm").

Think of it like this: if you use a wrench to turn a bolt, the torque is what makes the bolt rotate. The
longer the wrench (greater distance from the axis), the more torque you can generate with the same
amount of force.

In the simplest terms:

 Torque = twisting force that causes rotation.

 Units for torque are usually Newton-meters (Nm).

It's a key concept in many fields, from mechanics to engineering!
