Please explain in detail but in simple language pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee!
(I have a feeling there may be a slight difference in terminology on different sides of the atlantic on this one. Is this true? Mine is how it is defined in the UK)
Firstly there is no ambiguity or inconsistency about these terms.
…
Torque is the actual turning effect itself, regardless of source.
I don't think the claim was that the terms are ambiguous or inconsistent. It's occasionally the usage, that is.Firstly there is no ambiguity or inconsistency about these terms.
Nor is there any difference bewtween UK and US practice.
I'm glad we all agree on this.![]()

An additional example: torque is perhaps best know in the phrase "torque equals I alpha", where it means the same as "moment (of force)".
Intermolecular forces. If there's no direct connection, it won't rotate.Equally the socket end rotates because it is still subject to a torque, but what forces are now acting?
