Rpms is revolutions per minute. How many times the engine turns a complete cycle. Torque is measured at the rear wheels(if were talking about a rear wheel drive car). Torque is the true power of an engine. If you have alot of horse power and low torque, the working power of the engine underload will be awful. The best way to measure and only true way is to Dyno the engine

What is the difference between dynamic torque and static torque ratings?

One difference between dynamic torque and static torque is the level of difficulty to measure. Static torque is each to measure, while dynamic torque is not. This is because it requires a transfer of an electric or magnetic effect.


Why torque measure in percent?

Torque is not measured as a percentage.


What is the difference between rotational speed and torque?

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 difference between speed and torque?

speed= distance per seconds & torque= revolution per seconds


What is the relatiionship between torque and speed in gear trains?

I'm guessing you're talking about a disc viscometer, in which case the higher the viscosity, the higher the measured torque.

Max torque and breakdown toarque are the same...,.the point at which a motor will stop/stall.

Torque and work is a product of force and distance.Yet torque and work are different.What is it about the distances that makes the torque and work different?

Torque describes a rotational force, caused by a force acting at right-angles to the radius of rotation. To measure torque, we multiply the force, in newtons, by the radius of rotation in metres -so, torque is measured in newton metres (N.m).Work is measured by multiplying the force on an object by the distance through which it moves, and is measured in joules (J).The work done by force of torque (not by torque) is determined by multiplying the force, not by the radius of rotation, but by the distance the force acts around the circumference of rotation. So, if torque causes a complete rotation, then the work done by that torque will be the force times (2 pi r).One joule is equal to one newton-meter. It is a measure of work or energy.Torque can be expressed in joules (J), but they really mean joules per radian. They're talking about the amount of work this torque is capable of doing for each radian of rotation. When using radian measure mention of radian is often left out, as in this case.
