Torque

The turning effect of a force acting at a distance from an axis.

Engine torque is commonly given in newton-metres. Gearing changes torque at the wheels, so peak engine torque alone cannot predict a car’s acceleration.

Also known as: Nm · N m · lb ft · lb-ft · მაბრუნებელი მომენტი · крутящий момент
