I just remembered that F=mA Force = Mass x Accelleration.
Therefore Force is measured in kgm/s^2, taking us to SI units.
By your argument the units of Torque (NewtonMetres) should be the same
as force, which clearly they aren't. Going too fast for you here?

And distance with respect to time is also called....? I'll give you a
clue: "Miles PER HOUR?" What's that the unit of. Oh look, it's a measure
of SPEED isn't it? So is radians/sec.
Oh and once again TORQUE IS NOT THE SAME AS FORCE - see top of this e-mail.
Please answer me one question: Did you ever do physics at school? Did
you learn about formulae? Did you do distance, speed and time graphs in
basic mathematics? I did it at around age 11.
