Guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I will measure the weight of your shoe. Not really pressure, but resistance will do. Measure a stomp, as your foot in a pound.

0 Guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 according to dictionary.com you haven't described torque. you've described force Torque –noun 1.

Machinery. the measured ability of a rotating element, as of a gear or shaft, to overcome turning resistance. 3. Optics. the rotational effect on plane-polarized light passing through certain liquids or crystals. 4. Also, torc. a collar, necklace, or similar ornament consisting of a twisted narrow band, usually of precious metal, worn esp. by the ancient Gauls and Britons. –verb (used with object) 5. Machinery. to apply torque to (a nut, bolt, etc.). 6. to cause to rotate or twist. –verb (used without object) 7. to rotate or twist.

0 Guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dude, let a riddle stand for what it is, if you don't like it, just skip it. What is it with people not reading the rules, lately. People need to read the rules. Riddles aren't necessarily exact. Let a riddle stand for what if is, for crying out loud. Don't try and correct it. Make your own and see how perfect if can be. GOD!!!

FYI, foot-pounds can be used as a unit for torque or work (also energy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 deannaart Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I agree, good riddle lotus, as expected. And it is always good to see you round. Tearing down others riddles doesn't belong in the Den. If you can't play nicely, please don't play at all. RMZ'S!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
