Compare with Definitions

Newton

The SI-derived unit of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second, equal to 100,000 dynes. See Table at measurement.

Torque

In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It is also referred to as the moment, moment of force, rotational force or turning effect, depending on the field of study.

Newton

In the International System of Units, the derived unit of force; the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one metre per second per second. Symbol: N.

Torque

The measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion or rotation about an axis, equal to the product of the force vector and the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force; the moment of a force.

Newton

English mathematician and physicist; remembered for developing the calculus and for his law of gravitation and his three laws of motion (1642-1727)

Torque

A turning or twisting force.

Newton

A unit of force equal to the force that imparts an acceleration of 1 m/sec/sec to a mass of 1 kilogram; equal to 100,000 dynes

Torque

A collar, a necklace, or an armband made of a strip of twisted metal, worn by the ancient Celts and Germans.

Torque

To impart torque to.

Torque

A rotational or twisting effect of a force; a moment of force, defined for measurement purposes as an equivalent straight line force multiplied by the distance from the axis of rotation (SI unit newton metre or Nm; imperial unit [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound-foot_(torque) pound-foot] or lb·ft, not to be confused with the foot pound-force, commonly "foot-pound", a unit of work or energy)

Torque

A tightly braided necklace or collar, often made of metal, worn by various early European peoples.

Torque

To make something rotate about an axis by imparting torque to it.

Torque

A collar or neck chain, usually twisted, especially as worn by ancient barbaric nations, as the Gauls, Germans, and Britons.

Torque

That which tends to produce torsion; a couple of forces.

Torque

A turning or twisting; tendency to turn, or cause to turn, about an axis.

Torque

A twisting force
