Torque is the rotational equivalence of force. So, a net torque will cause an object to rotate with an angular acceleration. Because all rotational motions have an axis of rotation, a torque must be defined about a rotational axis. A torque is a force applied to a point on an object about the axis of rotation.

I hope it helps

A rotational force, also known as a torque, depends upon the force and where that force is applied; torque = lever arm x force. The lever arm is the perpendicular distance from the force to the axis of rotation.
