Torque Calculator

Formula and Units

Torque measures the turning effect of a force around a pivot point.

Formula: torque = force x distance x sin(angle). Force converts to newtons and distance to meters.

Understanding Torque

1. What This Calculator Measures

Torque measures the turning effect of a force around a pivot.

2. How the Calculation Works

Force is converted to newtons and lever-arm distance to meters. The sine of the angle keeps only the turning component of the force.

3. Formula or Rule Used

torque = force x distance x sin(angle).
