Torque is a measure of rotational force on a body at a specific point on that body. For example, if a force 1 kip (or 1,000 pounds) is acting on the free end of a fixed beam, and the attachment point of the beam is 10 feet away, then the torque on the fixed end of the beam is 10 kip-feet. The unit [m/s^2], or meters per squared second, is used to measure acceleration.

Every Apollo mission after Apollo 9, including the three Skylab missions and the Apollo-Soyuz flight, splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.
