Question 1

What is megajoule in torque?

Accepted Answer

Large rotational work unit. 1 MJ = 1,000,000 N·m of work. Rarely used for torque specification.

Question 2

When would you use megajoules for torque?

Accepted Answer

Large rotating machinery energy calculations, not for static torque specs. Turbines, large motors.

Question 3

Why are torque specs important?

Accepted Answer

Correct torque ensures proper clamping force. Too loose causes loosening/failure. Too tight causes stretching, stripping, or component damage.

Question 4

What's the difference between torque and force?

Accepted Answer

Force is a straight push/pull. Torque is rotational force: torque = force × distance from pivot. Same force at longer distance = more torque.
