  In the above image, for the rotating particle -
  torque = Ï„
  position = r
  force = F
  ------------------------------
  angular momentum = L
  position = r
  linear momentum = p
  
  

  1. Moment is the tendency of a force to move an object.
  2. Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object in a pivot.

  1. Moment is the perpendicular distance between the point of rotation and the force’s line of action.
  2. Torque is a measure of the turning force of an object.
