Torque is the twisting force that tends to cause rotation. The point where the object rotates is known as the axis of rotation. Mathematically, torque can be written as T = F * r * sin(theta), and it has units of Newton-meter

Torque, moment, or moment of force is the rotational equivalent of linear force. The concept originated with the studies of Archimedes on the usage of levers. Just as a linear force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object.
For example, if the force is you pushing on a door, then the distance to the hinge is the perpendicular distance -- the line to the hinge is 90 degrees to the force arrow (the direction you're pushing). Since force is measured in newtons and distance is measured in meters, torque is measured in newton-meters.
