Question

The torque output of an engine is usually measured in the units of

A RPM
B BHP
C FOOT POUNDS
D FEET PER POUND

Answer 1

Answer: C FOOT POUNDS

Step-by-step explanation: The torque is defined as force multiplied by the distance of axis of rotation.

The force is measured in pounds (lb). Hence, torque is measured in pounds-feet (lb-ft).

Example: If you exert 12 pounds of force using 2 ft- wrench, then the torque you are applying is 24 lb-ft.

Hence, the torque output of an engine is usually measured in the units of FOOT POUNDS.
