Difference between torque and thrust

Question

Example: 1000 lb ft of torque and the equivalent measurement to thrust like a plane

In: 4

Answer 1

you can almost see the difference in your question. Torque is measured in lb ft because it is the angular or rotational equivalent of force and has to act at a distance from the rotational centre. thrust is just a straight force measured in lbs (or newtons in more rational places).
