[oink]Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. Horsepower is defined as work done over time aka Power (not necessarily in a rotation).

Torque is the "Force" vector component that acts to 'rotate something'. F=ma (Force = Mass * Accelaration)

Power = Mass * Acceleration/time = Force/time

It's more than just force though. Torque, calculated as r x F (r "cross" F, where r - radius, F - force) so give the same amount of force (and same direction), the further the force is applied from the center of rotation it is applied, the greater the torque.

 

And that's easier to understand than what I posted in what way?!

 

and isn't power "work done / time"?

 

basically.

 

brant, I was just going to add that as well.
