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).
For instance, if you put a lever arm on a pivot and apply force but it doesnt move there was no power exerted. In practical terms, torque is the amount of energy abailable, power is the energy available in time. Regarding acceleration, power is what matters.
