3.

Torque is a measure of the twisting or turning force on an object. 

Moment is a measure of the tendency of a force to cause bending or deflection.


4.

Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the point of application to the axis of rotation.

 

Moment is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the perpendicular distance from the point of application to the line of action of the force.

5.

Torque is often used in the study of mechanics.

Moment is often used in the study of structural engineering.
