In physics, torque can be thought of informally as "rotational force". The SI units for Torque are newton meters although centinewton meters (cN·m), foot-pounds force (ft·lbf), inch pounds (lbf·in) and inch ounces (ozf·in) are also frequently used expressions of torque. The symbol for torque is τ, the Greek letter tau. The concept of torque, also called moment or couple, originated with the work of Archimedes on levers. The rotational analogues of force, mass, and acceleration are torque, moment of inertia, and angular acceleration respectively. The force applied to a lever, multiplied by its distance from the lever's fulcrum, is the torque. For example, a force of three newtons applied two metres from the fulcrum exerts the same torque as one newton applied six metres from the fulcrum. This assumes the force is in a direction at right angles to the straight lever. More generally, one may define torque as the cross product:

$\backslash boldsymbol\{\backslash tau\}\; =\; \backslash mathbf\{r\}\; \backslash times\; \backslash mathbf\{F\}$

where F is the force vector and r is the vector from the axis of rotation to the point on which the force is acting.

Ugly Red is ZERO fun to drive over 70 mph. And has an almost unusable torque curve requiring all sorts of gear rowing on the hwy. Love him!
