Steve,

The term 'area under the curve' is specifically used to look at the torque measurement on an engine to compare 2 cars that are both geared to use their respective rpm ranges, the one that makes more torque, makes a lot more power, and thus, all else equal, will be much much quicker.




I see what you're saying, I'm just trying to look at it from a mathamatical point of view and I'm buggered if I can work out what the intergral of torque is?
