WRONG

POWER /= TORQUE.

come on dan, you’re an engineer.

do you mean joules???

watt ~ power = w/t = F_D/t = m_A_D/t ~ kg_m^2/s  
ft-lb ~ torque = F X D = m_A_D ~ kg_m^2/s^2  
ft-lb ~ work =F_D = m_A_D ~ kg\*m^2/s^2 = joule

however, work is a **dot** product, torque is a **cross** product.

sorry, your right, i was thinking joules but came out watts because i was thinking HP. But what about NEwTONs or NEWMANS?
