TORQUE Meaning and
Definition
-
Torque is a term used in physics and engineering to describe a concept related to rotational motion. It refers to the measure of the turning force that is applied to an object when a twisting motion is performed around an axis. In other words, it represents the strength of the rotational force or the intensity of the twisting effort.
Torque is commonly denoted by the symbol "τ" or sometimes the Greek letter "tau". It is measured in units of Newton meters (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lb), and is calculated by multiplying the force applied to a given lever arm or moment arm by the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the point at which the force is applied.
Torque is a fundamental concept in numerous fields, particularly in mechanics and engineering applications. In machines, such as engines and motors, torque is essential for generating rotational motion and maintaining the required force to overcome resistances or move objects. It is crucial in determining the rotational stability, angular acceleration, and speed of rotating objects.
Additionally, torque is an important factor in various physical phenomena, including the motion of planets and celestial bodies, the twisting of materials, and the behavior of rotating systems in physics and engineering experiments. Its precise measurement and understanding are crucial in designing and analyzing mechanical systems, as well as in addressing issues related to torsion, rotational equilibrium, and angular momentum.

Etymology of TORQUE
The word "torque" is derived from the Latin word "torquere", which means "to twist". The Latin verb "torquere" gave rise to the noun "torques" or "torquis", which referred to a twisted metal collar or neck ring worn as an adornment. Over time, the word "torque" began to be used in physics to describe a force that causes an object to rotate or twist around an axis.
