The name for the amount of turning force exerted by the crankshaft is torque. Torque is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate around an axis or pivot point. In an engine, torque is what generates power to move the vehicle.
Torque is not a force itself, but it is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. In physics, torque is related to force through the concept of leverage and the distance from the point of rotation. The greater the torque applied, the greater the rotational force exerted on an object.
The torque exerted by a force is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance from the pivot point and the sin of the angle between the force and the lever arm. In this case, the torque exerted by the force would be 8 N * 0.5 m * sin(45 degrees) = 2.83 Nm.
A torque must be exerted on the object to change its angular momentum. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force and is required to cause an object to rotate or change its rate of rotation.

Before torque wrenches you simply had to judge the amount of force you used by the 'pull' you exerted on the wrench.
To calculate brake torque, multiply force with the distance from the point of rotation. Force is equal to the torsional reaction caused by the brakes, and is also equal in magnitude to the torque exerted by the road.
The torque exerted on the bolt is calculated by multiplying the force applied (90 N) by the distance from the pivot point (0.22 m). Torque = force x distance = 90 N x 0.22 m = 19.8 Nm.
