torque
Torque, moment, or moment of force is rotational force. Just as a linear force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. In three dimensions, the torque is a pseudovector; for point particles, it is given by the cross product of the position vector (distance vector) and the force vector.
The symbol for torque is typically
τ
{\displaystyle \tau }
, the lowercase Greek letter tau. When it is called moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M.
The magnitude of torque of a rigid body depends on three quantities: the force applied, the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application, and the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. In symbols:
{\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\tau }}}
is the torque vector and
τ
{\displaystyle \tau }
is the magnitude of the torque,
r is the position vector (a vector from the origin of the coordinate system defined to the point where the force is applied)
F is the force vector,
× denotes the cross product,which is defined as magnitudes of the respective vectors times sin θ.
θ is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm vector.
The SI unit for torque is N⋅m/rad. For more on the units of torque, see Units.

15x7 with a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. Came off a '67 Mustang but will also work on most Ford cars and any bbp Mopar (A, B, E, F, or M body).
The tires are Cooper radials, 215 60/15s with good tread. 3 hold air, one has an effed-up bead that I couldn't get seated, I don't know the age.

Does anybody possibly have a torque wrench I can borrow for a couple hours? I got a scope i want to mount and really wanna follow the manufacturer specs of 60 on the rifle and 20 on the scope. If your close to the North Plains area and are willing to lend it to me Id greatly appreciate it. I'll...
I have a torque limiting screwdriver distributed (not made by) through MAC Tools. Model TSM2-36. ((Stanley/Proto model 6106) has the same identical tool) I'm trying to find an assembly, or exploded view parts diagram. Searching Google finds nothing useful. The next thing I tried to find was a...
I could probably get away with tightening (scope caps) by feel, as I've always done in the past. I never had anything come loose. Then again, I could have been stretching the threads just the same. Looking what's available out there, prices are all over on these inch/pound tools. I need a range...
