Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of turning force exerted by the crankshaft is referred to as torque. It is measured in units of force times distance, such as pound-feet (lb-ft) or Newton-meters (Nm). Energy refers to the ability to do work, while inertia is the resistance of an object to change in motion. Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
