Question

Torque is described as T = r * F, where r = radius which is measured in feet from the fulcrum point and F = Force which is measured in pounds. What is a possible unit measure for Torque?

Answer 1

(pound-feet)

Explanation:

Given that:

Torque = r × F

Where ; r = radius in feet ; F = force in pounds

Hence, a possible unit measure of torque using the units provided for both force and Radius will be :

r (feet) × F (pounds) = Torque (pound-feet)

Hence, the possible unit of measure of torque = (pound-feet)

Other unit measure may be :

r (metres) × F(Newton) = Torque (newton-metre)
