About this calculator
Overview
Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. It depends on the magnitude of the force, the distance from the pivot, and the angle of application.
💡
Pro Tips
Torque = r * F * sin(θ).
Maximum torque occurs when the force is applied perpendicular (90°) to the lever arm.
Units: Newton-meters (N·m) or Foot-pounds (ft-lb).

Fun Facts
"Wrenches use the principle of torque; a longer wrench allows you to apply more torque for the same amount of force."
"The engines in heavy-duty trucks are designed for high torque to move heavy loads, while sports cars are designed for high horsepower to achieve high speeds."
"Tightening a bolt often requires a specific torque to ensure it's secure but not damaged."
