Answer: No. Torque is measured in foot-pounds--a constant force applied at a specific distance from rotation. A dropped item does not apply torque--only pressure equal to the item's weight divided by surface area contacted and slightly increased due to acceleration of gravity at 32 feet per second squared. Greater heights will result in higher "g-forces" which will increase the force at impact, but not in the factors of 100 pounds per foot as you mentioned.
