Question 1

What is a Torque Calculator?

Accepted Answer

Torque is the rotational equivalent of force — the tendency of a force to cause rotation around an axis. Torque = Force × Perpendicular distance from axis. It is measured in Newton-metres (N·m) or foot-pounds (ft·lb).

Question 2

How does the Torque Calculator work?

Accepted Answer

Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Lever arm distance (r) × sin(angle) Then: Maximum torque: when force is perpendicular to lever arm (sin 90° = 1) Then: Torque and angular acceleration: τ = I × α (moment of inertia × angular acceleration).

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the Torque Calculator?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input 50N force at 0.3m lever arm perpendicular gives a result of 15 N·m torque (50 × 0.3 × sin(90°) = 15).

Question 4

Is the Torque Calculator free to use?
