Are torque and moment the same?
1 Answers
Torque and moment are the same. Torque is a crucial performance parameter of a car engine, and many people consider the maximum power and torque of the engine when purchasing a car. Power can be converted into horsepower, which refers to how much work an object can perform in a unit of time. The greater the power, the more work the object can perform in a unit of time. Torque measures how much moment the engine can output in a single cycle. Torque is the moment output by the engine that enables the crankshaft to rotate. The greater the torque, the stronger the car's acceleration performance. The power of a car engine is related to both torque and rotational speed. If the engine has relatively high torque and rotational speed, its power will also be greater.
