n. collar, necklace; twisting force, force that causes something to twist (Physics)

v. turn something up (such as the heat); apply torque to something, cause to twist; rotate

For other senses of this word, see torque (disambiguation).In physics, torque (or often called a moment) can informally be thought of as "rotational force" or "angular force" which causes a change in rotational motion. This force is defined by linear force multiplied by a radius. The SI unit for torque is the newton meter (N m). In  U.S. customary units, it is measured in foot pounds (ft·lbf) (also known as 'pounds feet'). The symbol for torque is τ, the Greek letter tau.
