why we are not using the unit joule for torque instead of N-m.

Answer Posted / ashutosh

joule is also n-m but it is associated with heat and work.
it is after name of inventor joule. moreover torque is the
tendency of a force to rotate the member about a line or
axis and its mag is force*perpendicular distance from line
of action to the axis of rotation. it is clearly evident
from unit N-m hence used.
