Answer 2

onlyafewill... answered this so well, but I just want to add my 2 inch pounds...

Torque only exists when there is resistance. Force can not be applied if there is no opposing force. Perfect torque calculations assume that the opposing/resisting force equals (or exceeds) the force applied.

;-D There is an automotive tool similar to a wrench that has a scale near one end, against which a pointer will indicate the force applied. This scale is measuring torque. Bolts often need a certain amount of torque applied to hold the parts together without warping or braking something. Ignore proper torquing at your own expense!

Answer 3

In physics, torque can be thought of informally as "rotational force". The SI units for Torque are newton meters although centinewton meters (cN·m), foot-pounds force (ft·lbf), inch pounds (lbf·in) and inch ounces (ozf·in) are also frequently used expressions of torque. The symbol for torque is τ, the Greek letter tau. The concept of torque, also called moment or couple, originated with the work of Archimedes on levers. The rotational analogues of force, mass, and acceleration are torque, moment of inertia, and angular acceleration respectively. The force applied to a lever, multiplied by its distance from the lever's fulcrum, is the torque. For example, a force of three newtons applied two metres from the fulcrum exerts the same torque as one newton applied six metres from the fulcrum.

Answer 4

Torque is the "rotational force". It is defined as the force applied to the object times the distance from the center of rotation. If you increase the distance where you apply the force from the center of rotation, then you are increasing the torque. This is why it is easier to open a door if it has a knob farther from the hinge. If you try to open a big door using the same amount of force, it is twice as easy to do if the knob is located twice the distance from the hinge.

Answer 5

Torque about a point is the cross product of vector joining the point of application of the force and the force
Torque = r x f

Answer 6

Okay, you wanted elaborate. Visit this page on my website and learn about how torque and horsepower are related. It's very similar to ohm's law which you seem curious about:
