Torquenoun
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)
Torquenoun
A tightly braided necklace or collar, often made of metal, worn by various early European peoples.
Torqueverb
To twist or turn something.
Torquenoun
A collar or neck chain, usually twisted, especially as worn by ancient barbaric nations, as the Gauls, Germans, and Britons.
Torquenoun
That which tends to produce torsion; a couple of forces.
Torquenoun
A turning or twisting; tendency to turn, or cause to turn, about an axis.
Torquenoun
a twisting force
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.
