only to the sellers of the product, and those who promote conflict based on religion.
QuoteI am not the one who is confused here. I perfectly understand that work is forced times distance or, for a rotational system torque times angle of rotation. My point is that there is no reason to express torque in units of energy per angle of rotation. The fundamental nature of torque is force acting at a distance. Not all torques result in work being done. Only if the torque is accompanied by a rotation then there is work being done. There is no reason to include the concept of work associated with torque for the situations where there is no work being done.That is, such as the case where the torque is applied statically. Newtons and meters are fundamental units in the SI system. Torque is readily defined in terms of these fundamental units. There is no need to introduce additional units such as radians. Furthermore your suggestion that I am confused and my confusion would be cleared up by looking at variables speed devices is quite condescending. I have been engineer for more than 50 years. I worked with and designed vehicle power trains, including those that had continuously variable and infinitely variable speed transmissions. In my work I worked with advanced power trains including those for hybrid vehicles andI have co-authored numerous SAE papers on the subject, and have taught thousands of Mechanical Engineering students. I am confident that I am not confused about the fundamental nature of torque.

We can lose our confidence in that specific knowledge if it contradicts some other knowledge that we're more confident in.

Weapon manufacturers and smugglers often benefit from conflicts, even though they don't share the same religion as the conflicting sides.

By supplying one side or even both, you are promoting the basic cause of the conflict.
