Torque Calculator
Find the torque from a force applied at a distance from a pivot (lever arm), at any angle.
Torque
15 N·m
- Torque (lbf·ft)
- 11.0634 lbf·ft
- Torque (lbf·in)
- 132.761 lbf·in
- Torque (kgf·m)
- 1.52957 kgf·m
Show the work
Torque = arm × force × sin θ
τ = r × F × sin θ
0.3 × 50 × sin 90° = 15 N·m
How it works
τ = r × F × sin θ, where θ is the angle between the lever arm and the force
Questions
