Torque is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. It's the equivalent of linear force but applied in a circular motion. The formula for torque is: Torque = Force × Distance Where: Force* is the applied force. Distance* is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied (often called the lever arm). Torque is measured in Newton-meters (N·m) in the SI system. Examples include the force a wrench applies to a bolt or the force a motor applies to a shaft.
