relation bet. torque and wt.

[rah]

what is the relation between torque and weight or mass

[Robert Fogt]

Torque is the tendacy of a force to cause rotation, it is the force times the distance from the center of rotation to where the force is applied.

As an example, take the unit pound foot, a unit of torque. If you have a force of 1 pound being applied 2 foot from the fulcrum, then you have:
1 pound * 2 foot = 2 pound foot of torque

[DURFUS]
