Torsion
Technical Context
Used in subjects like physics and engineering to describe forces that rotate objects.

Engineers must calculate the torsion to ensure the motor's shaft will resist twisting forces.
Structural Concern
Torsion is important when assessing the ability of a structure to withstand stress without breaking.

Architects consider torsion when designing buildings to survive earthquakes.
Quantifiable Measure
It's a physical quantity that can be measured to understand an object's stability.

The torsion applied on the beam was recorded during the safety test.
