Which of the following best describes the term “torque”?

Torque is a measure of the twisting force applied to an object, often expressed in terms of Newton-meters (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lbs).

Torque is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis or pivot point. It is a rotational equivalent of force. Torque can be described as the product of force and the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the line of action of the force. In simpler terms, torque represents the rotational force applied to an object, causing it to rotate around a fixed point.
