Torque in a sentence

The result is that the torque exerted by gravity – via the pitching motion – elicits gyroscopic precession (which in turn yields a counter torque against the gravity torque) rather than causing the spinning top to fall to its side.

In the 1980s, Audi replaced the center differential with a Torsen (or torque-sensing) differential, allowing torque to be directed to the wheel with traction instead of spinning the wheel without.

While the plug-in hybrid isn't as zippy as the fully-electric Niro EV — which brings 201 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque to the party, delivering all its torque instantly — there's still more than enough to go whooshing around town without issues.

A 296-hp version of the same engine (with 295 lb-ft of torque) is available on the R-Dynamic model, but if you’re choosing that one, do it for the torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system.

Presumably that is wheel torque, which isn’t quite the same as useable torque, but whatever.

The torque converter is a modified fluid coupler/hydraulic coupler, like a clutch, that is placed between the engine and the transmission, which changes the mechanical torque.

Any force directed parallel to the particle's position vector does not produce a torque. citation It follows from the properties of the cross product that the torque vector is perpendicular to both the position and force vectors.

Depending on the gear ratio of the bicycle, a (torque, rpm) input pair is converted to a (torque, rpm) output pair.

For example, it might be 37% for an engine with a peak efficiency of 44%. citation Torque Diesel engines produce more torque than petrol engines for a given displacement due to their higher compression ratio.

If the rotating body is symmetrical and its motion unconstrained, and, if the torque on the spin axis is at right angles to that axis, the axis of precession will be perpendicular to both the spin axis and torque axis.

If the speed of the rotation and the magnitude of the external torque are constant, the spin axis will move at right angles to the direction that would intuitively result from the external torque.

If torque and rotational speed are expressed in coherent SI units, the power is calculated by ; : where is power in watts when is torque in newton-metres, and is angular speed in radians per second.

In contrast, a V8 engine shows peaks of less than 100% above and valleys of less than 100% below mean torque, and torque never goes negative.

Net force versus torque When the net force on the system is zero, the torque measured from any point in space is the same.

The double torque converters allowed a continuously variable drive ratio with only one forward gear and one reverse gear which used the torque converters to vary the transmission ratio based on load and engine speed.

The resulting change in engine torque, the feedback, combines with the torque exerted by the changing road grade to reduce the error in speed, minimizing the road disturbance.

The technique used by Gauss was to equate the torque induced on a suspended magnet of known mass by the earth’s magnetic field with the torque induced on an equivalent system under gravity.

This definition allows the determination of B in the following way citation error Alternatively, the magnetic field can be defined in terms of the torque it produces on a magnetic dipole (see magnetic torque on permanent magnets below).

Torque and energy are related to each other using the equation : where E is the energy, τ is the torque, and θ is the angle moved (in radians ).

Torque is part of the basic specification of an engine : the power output of an engine is expressed as its torque multiplied by its rotational speed of the axis.
