| Sep 20, 2012 at 23:48 | comment | added | Pink Elephants | Maybe this is helpful: if we do work on something by rotating it, the amount of work is the product of torque and angular displacement. Angular displacement is measured in radians, which is unitless, so torque must have the same units as energy. | |
| Sep 20, 2012 at 23:46 | comment | added | Christopher A. Wong | Torque is a vector; energy is not. They just happen to have the same units. | |
| Sep 20, 2012 at 23:45 | comment | added | Joe | Minor note: Torque is usually given by $rF \sin \theta$, not just $rF$, unless the angle is always $90$ degrees of course because $\sin 90 = 1$. | |
