Question

Torque can be calculated by multiplying the force (N) applied at 90 degrees to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point, the compound si unit for the torque is N times m

Answer 1

All of that is true, and I thank you for sharing.

Why do you suppose the unit of torque [ newton-meter ]
is the same as the unit for energy ?  What can we learn
from that ?
