Two factors are involved: (1) force and (2) movement through a distance. * The concept of [[Power]] involves the previously discussed topic of work, which was a force being applied over a measured distance, but adds one more consideration—time. In other words, how long it takes to accomplish the work. * Whereas work is described as force acting through a distance, torque is described as force acting along a distance. [[Torque]] is something that creates twisting and tries to make something rotate. #source
