    Torque
    In physics, a ` torque` (Ã?„) is a vector that measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object about some axis . The magnitude of a torque is defined as force times its lever arm . Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist. The SI unit for torque is newton•meters . In U.S. customary units, it is measured in foot pounds (ft÷lbf) (also known as 'pounds feet'). The symbol for torque is `Ã?„`, the Greek letter `...
