Torque (N·m): Torque (kN·m): Torque (MN·m): Torque (GN·m): Torque (lbf·ft):

1. What is a Torque Calculator?

Definition: A torque calculator determines the rotational force (torque) applied to an object based on force, distance, and angle.

Purpose: This tool helps you calculate torque for mechanical systems, engineering designs, or physics problems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator computes torque using this formula:

\[ \tau = F \times r \times \sin(\theta) \]

Explanation: It multiplies the force (F) by the distance (r) and the sine of the angle (θ) between them. Units are converted to N for force and m for distance, then displayed in multiple torque units.

3. Importance of Torque Calculation

Details: Accurate torque values are critical for designing safe machinery, tightening bolts, or analyzing rotational motion.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Input force (N, kN, MN, GN, lbf), distance (mm, cm, m, inch, feet, yard), and angle (0° to 180°). The result is provided in N·m, kN·m, MN·m, GN·m, and lbf·ft.
