And?

Torque is a Force wherein a mass is multiplied by the acceleration factor.
F = m * a
Resulting units are pounds-foot (sec^2) commonly stated in “Standard Engineering” as foot-pounds.

Torque is simply an integral of F=m*a with material strengths applied as variables (dx/dy)

A 4lb. object free falling 2.5ft would produce an impact force of approx. 10ft-lbs of torque

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, torque refers to a force imparting rotation.

It is the Force (orthogonal to radius) x Radius (from center of mass, aka "Lever arm").
