torque is a vctor quantity , it is also called as the moment of force , the torque due to a force gives us the turning effect of the force about a fixed point / axis .
a pair of equal and opposite force in torque are called as couple . 
and its not nessasary that every vector quantity have dimension formula . 
work is a scaler quantity , as we cannot specified its direction at some instant .
