OpenStudy (anonymous):

The work done by a force is the product of force and distance. Does this means that the torque and work are equivalent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are dimensionally the same, in that they have the same units, but they're not the same thing.

OpenStudy (s3a):

No. Despite the units, work is energy and torque is how much of an effect a force has on rotating something about an axis.
