By Andrew Zimmerman Jones. Definition: Torque is the tendency of a force to cause or change rotational motion of a body. Torque is calculated by multiplying Force and distance, so the SI units of torque are newton-meters, or N*m (even though this is the same as joules, torque isn't work or energy, so should just be newton-meters).
The equation for Torque is: Tq=Force X Lever Arm Distance. So it is the amount of force applied over the length of the lever arm measured from the fulcrum to where you applied the force. In the case of an engine, this would be the force the piston and rod applied on the crank, multiplied by the length of the crank arm.
