Calculation Formula

Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (r)

Where:
τ = Torque (Nm)
F = Force applied (Newtons)
r = Distance from pivot point (meters)

What is Torque?

Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. It's the product of force and the distance from the point of rotation (pivot point). The unit of torque is Newton-meter (Nm).

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the force applied in Newtons (N)
  2. Enter the distance from the pivot point in meters (m)
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the torque
  4. The result will be displayed in Newton-meters (Nm)

Real-World Applications

Torque calculations are essential in many fields:

  • Automotive engineering (engine torque, wheel torque)
  • Mechanical design (gears, levers, motors)
  • Physics and engineering
  • Everyday tasks like opening a door or using a wrench

Note: Ensure consistent units for accurate results. If your distance is in centimeters, divide it by 100 to convert to meters before calculation.
