Answer:
because torque is force*perpendicular distance and work is force*displacement

Let us look at the answer:
Explanation:
Work is defined as the force which produces motion that is force × displacement in the direction of applied force.
W = F. s cos θ, rectilinear motion.
Torque is the force which causes rotation acting along a perpendicular direction. i.e. in rotational motion
τ = Force × perpendicular distance.
So, both physical quantities differ on the type of motion they act on.
