What is the difference between torque and moment?..

Answer / chaitanya pithawa

torque is the name of a pair of equal-and-opposite forces
which are not in-line, and so have a purely rotational effect.
torque tends to be used when there is an axle or pivot to be
turned around, while moment tends to be used in essentially
non-rotational situations, such as analysis of forces on a beam.

What is the difference between torque and moment?..

Answer / om

IF we talk about torque then it is a cause of rotational
motion for example Breaking Torque of Shaft(measured by
dynamometer). It is resembles to force as in case of Linear
motion. But when any force acts offset to any point than
force is replace by a moment at that point and the moment
is goven by force x Per. distance between force and that
point.
