Flywheel Torque Calculator

How to Use the Flywheel Torque Calculator

This calculator is used to determine the torque produced by a flywheel based on its moment of inertia and angular acceleration. Follow the steps below to use the calculator:

1. Enter the moment of inertia of the flywheel in kilograms per meter squared (kg·m²).
2. Enter the angular acceleration of the flywheel in radians per second squared (rad/s²).
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the torque.
4. The calculated torque will be displayed in newton-meters (Nm).

Understanding the Formula

The formula used to calculate the torque is:

T = I · α

Where:

• T = Torque (Nm)
• I = Moment of Inertia (kg·m²)
• α = Angular Acceleration (rad/s²)

This formula shows that the torque is directly proportional to both the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration. By knowing these two parameters, you can accurately determine the torque produced by the flywheel.
