<p class="text-slate-600 leading-relaxed">
Torque is a fundamental concept in mechanical engineering, physics, automotive mechanics, and structural design. It measures the measure of the rotational force applied to an object about a pivot or axis. When working on global automotive platforms, industrial fabrication, or precision robotics, converting between metric (SI) and imperial torque systems is frequently required.

</summary>
<p class="text-xs sm:text-sm text-slate-600 mt-3 leading-relaxed">
In everyday automotive use, foot-pounds and pound-feet are used interchangeably. However, in formal physics, <strong>pound-foot (lb·ft)</strong> represents rotational torque, while <strong>foot-pound (ft-lb)</strong> represents work or energy.
