How is torque different from other forces?

Torque, also called moment or moment of force, is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis,fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist.In more basic terms, torque measures how hard something is rotated

Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved, as opposed to straight, path; it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.
