A LITTLE CONTEXT
How to use torque calculator
- Enter or edit the example values in the input panel.
- Review the method below and choose the options that match your task.
- Run the tool, check the result, and copy or download it. Reset restores the example; Clear removes your input and result.
Method & assumptions
Torque magnitude τ = rF sin(θ), with 0° ≤ θ ≤ 180°.
The angle is between the pivot-to-force arm and the applied force. Output is magnitude only; choose a rotation convention separately for signed torque.
Result units: Torque magnitude (N·m)
Worked example
- Force magnitude (N)
- 10
- Lever-arm length (m)
- 2
- Angle between arm and force (degrees)
- 90
