What is difference between torque and moment???..

TORQUE AND MOMENT r acting on the shaft

TORQUE is twisting moment... that come from load acting upon
at the shaft radius distance i.e., load x distance(radius)

MOMENT is bending moment... that come from load upon at the
shaft length wise distance i,e., load x distance(length)

SOMETIMES torque and moment r acting on the same shaft..

Answer / pankit chauhan

Moment is the rotational effect of any physical quantity. It may be area,inertia or even a force. It is equal to the physical quantity multiplied by the radial distance or the moment arm.

Moment when taken specifically in the case of a Force is moment .It is basically the rotating effect of the force. When the force acts at a certain distance from the pivot point perpendicular to the radial arm, is termed as torque.
