Just as a linear force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object . In three dimensions, the torque is a pseudovector; for point particles, it is given by the cross product of the position vector (distance vector) and the force vector . </P> <P> The symbol for torque is typically τ (\ displaystyle \ tau), the lowercase Greek letter tau . When it is called moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M . </P>
