SUMMARY
The relationship between torque and energy is defined by the equation Energy = Torque * Angle covered. Torque is calculated as force multiplied by radius, and when the radius is multiplied by the angle covered (in radians), it results in a distance. This distance, when multiplied by force, yields energy, confirming the established relationship. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding radian measurement in this context.
