yes --true -- only one thing to add: the lever comparison - is a force & distance relationship ----(trick question again)
I said it was a trick question--- your last paragraph (sentence) says it as it is.
I deliberately muddied it up.
In setting up engines to produce best results for racing or other applications -- it is very common for people to try to divorce torque from horspower.
Often, they are described as two seperate animals -one for pulling hard the other for going fast. The idea that torque is required to get horsepower is manytimes , missed.
