How it's used
Primarily used in physics, engineering, and mechanical contexts rather than daily casual conversation. It describes the rotational force applied to an object, often appearing in discussions about tools like torque wrenches or structural stability. While technically accurate, most people might simply use the English word torque in a professional setting in Hong Kong.
Examples
The torque of this screwdriver is not enough, I cannot screw it in.
Do you know how to calculate the torque of this part?
