Rotational speed is measure in terms of rotations per second (not necessarily per second, you could use other units of time, but let it be per second) whereas torque is measured in newtons, which are units of force. The amount of rotations per second that you get per newton of applied force depends upon the inertia (measured as "moment arm" for a rotating body) that the force has to overcome.

What is ment by the term torque multiplication?

Torque multiplication is proportional to the difference in speed between the impeller and the turbine. for example : At an engine speed of 2100 RPM, and torque at that speed of 100 Newton meters, the torque input to the transmission will be 2.2 times that value - 220 Newton meters with help of torque multiplication.


Do machines use tires to transfer power or rotation?

What is the difference between power and torque?

In simple terms, torque gets you moving and power keeps you moving. In other words, your acceleration is dictated by the torque your engine provides and the top speed is limited by the power.


What is the relationship between linear speed and rotational speed?

(linear speed) = (rotational speed) x (radius or distance from the center) To use consistent measures, use radians/second for rotational speed, meters for the radius, and meters/second for the linear speed. If you know rotational speed in some other unit - for example, rpm (rotations per minute) - convert to radians per second first.
