in physics, torque is a vector quantity that can be thought of as a rotational or angular force, causing a change in rotational motion. this force is defined as the linear force multiplied by the diameter. according to the international system of units, the unit of torque is newton-meter. according to the imperial system, the unit of measurement is foot-pound. the greek letter for torque is tau.

moment calculation

moment: m =f*i

m = moment

f = force

l = moment arm
