4.4.11 Torque
Torque. This is the product of force on the arm. For an internal combustion engine, this is the thrust, which is created on the crankshaft. In other words, this is the force with which the piston presses through the connecting rod on the crankshaft connecting rod, multiplied by the radius of the crank (see above). Let's go back to the cyclist to make it more clear. The amount of traction on the pedal axis depends both on the length of the pedal (shoulder) and on the force with which the cyclist presses on this pedal. The torque is measured in newton meters (Nm).
