Torque (Nm): 0.00

Calculation Formula

Torque (T) = Force (F) × Distance (r)

Where:
T = Torque in Newton-meters (Nm)
F = Force applied in Newtons (N)
r = Distance from pivot in meters (m)

Torque Output Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Torque Output Calculator and understand the principles behind torque calculation

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the force applied in Newtons (N) in the "Force" field. This is the perpendicular force you're applying to rotate an object.
  2. Enter the distance from the pivot point (in meters) in the "Distance" field. This is the radius of rotation.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the torque.
  4. The result will be displayed in Newton-meters (Nm).

Understanding Torque

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. It is calculated as the product of force and the distance from the point of rotation (lever arm). The formula is:

T = F × r

Torque is crucial in many applications including:

  • Vehicle engines (mechanical power output)
  • Wrenches and tools for fastening
  • Rotating machinery and equipment
  • Simple machines like levers and pulleys

Example Calculation

Suppose you're using a wrench to tighten a bolt. If you apply a force of 50 Newtons at a distance of 0.3 meters (30 cm) from the bolt:

Torque = 50 N × 0.3 m = 15 Nm

This means you're generating 15 Newton-meters of torque on the bolt.
