Define torque qualitatively and quantitatively.

When you use a wrench to tighten or loosen a nut on a bolt, you are
applying torque. It is measured in units of force times distance.

A force of F newtons pulling on a handle of L meters in length would
supply a torque of F L newton-meters.

More technically, torque is the vector cross product of force times
perpendicular distance from the object, F x r = F r sin @

The rotational effect of a force is called torque. It is also called as moment of force.

QUANTITATIVELY,

T = F r sin(theta)
T = torque
F = linear force
r = distance measured from the axis of rotation to where the linear force is applied
theta = the angle between F and r
