Um....no. It is most certainly a vector quantity.

not to be too much of a stickler here,
Torque is not a vector quantity, it HAS a vector
quantity. As opposed to a straight line quantity
as in work/power which is what I've been saying.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque , or if you're a stickler
for reliable sources, any elementary physics text like Hailliday and
Resnick, or Sears and Zemansky.

You're mixing concepts. Yes, torque is *related* to power, which is
*related* to energy, which is *related* to momentum (both linear and
angular) but these are all distinct concepts.

Once you've sorted it out we can talk.
