Vector or Scalar?[edit]
Hi. ISO 80000-4:2006 Quantities and units—Part 4: Mechanics (Q26711933) defines moment of force (symbol M) to be a vector and torque (symbol T) its magnitude, that is, a scalar. So I change the classification of this item to scalar. Toni 001 (talk) 22:27, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hm, in Russian there is only one designation for scalar and vector variants... So the separation is against logic for us. --Infovarius (talk) 21:35, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- I moved a few Wikipedia articles which are about or mention first the vector quantity to the item moment of force (Q17232562). Some Wikipedias, for instance the German one, have one article for the scalar and one for the vector quantity. Please check in languages you understand whether the article is on the most appropriate item. Toni 001 (talk) 09:37, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
