What the hell you talkin 'bout?
Ignoring the previous answer...
For torque, 'distance' refers to the radius of rotation. For work, 'distance' refers to the distance travelled in the direction of a force. To find the amount of work done by torque, multiply the force by the distance travelled around the circumference of rotation.
Torque is rotational force, while work is energy transferred between objects. For example, a screw experiences mostly torque as you twist it around its axis, while a nail experiences mostly work as it is driven straight into the wood.
It depends on the distance over which the work is done. Work = Force x distance
If you choose a different reference point, the numbers for torque will be different. Calculations will still work out, though - but a reference point must be chosen, and used consistently.
Does not multiply energy. Work done or energy used (force * distance) remains the same at both ends. Force or torque can be increased or decreased depending on mechanical advantage. It can change the direction of the force or torque.
If the 'wheel' is locked and doesn't go anywhere, then there's no work. But if there's rotation, then the torque does work.
They are completely unrelated. Don't get confused by the fact that the units look similar. Work units may be force (N) times distance (m); so a Nm is a work unit. Torque units may be distance (m) times force (N); so mN is a torque unit. Look similar, but they describe different things.
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.
Yes, it is possible for a smaller force to have a large torque because it is usually located at a much greater distance from the center of rotation. Torque is calculated by multiplying the distance by the force.

The transmissions should be the same, but the torque converters are different.The transmissions should be the same, but the torque converters are different.
A 350 or 400 torque converter will not work on a Powerglide transmission due to differences in design. All are somewhat similar but come in different sizes and connections.

Archimedes work on levers brought about the concept of torque. He used levers and pulleys to illustrate mechanical advantage. Torque and moments make us understand the mechanical concepts.
Joule , the energy unit is the unit for Torque. Torque is vector energy.AnswerThe SI unit for torque is the newton metre(N.m). This should not be confused with the joule (which is a special name for a newton metre), the SI unit for work.With torque, the force (in newtons) acts at right angles to a radius (in metres) to produce a turning moment. With work, the force (in newtons) acts in the same direction as distance travelled (in metres).To calculate the work done by a given torque, it's necessary to multiply the force by the circumference through which the force acts.

machines make work easier by cahnging the amount of force exerted, and changing the distance and derection of the force
