work and torque are both products of force and distance are they the same?

Answer 1

Work =force X distance
Torque = rotational force which causes a change in rotational movement
Both have units of newton-meters or foot-pounds

Answer 2

The concepts are distict even though they have the same dimensions. Work is measured in Joules and torque in Newton-metre.

In the definition of torque no implication is made regarding the dislocation of the force's point of application along the direction displacement vector as in the case of the definition of work.

Answer 3

No work is scalar defined by the dot product of force and distance.

Torque is a vector defined by the cross product of force and distance.
