Torque is a measure of how much force acting on an object causes that object to rotate or the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. A measurement of an engine's power that indicates how forcefully it can rotate the crankshaft at a given engine speed. Turning or twisting effort, usually measured in lb-ft or Newton metres. Torque the product of a force acting at a distance.
PhysicsA quark is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never directly observed or found in isolation, they can be found only within hadrons, such as baryons (of which protons and neutrons are Examples), and mesons.
