How it works
Torque = force × distance × sin(angle)How to use the Torque Calculator
Start by entering force and distance from the pivot. Keep the units consistent and check that each value belongs to the same question.
The result gives torque and the selected unit. The angle between force and lever changes the effective torque. Use it as a guide and check any instructions, rules or professional advice that apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this torque calculator calculate?
It gives torque and the selected unit. The angle between force and lever changes the effective torque.
What information should I enter?
Enter force and distance from the pivot. Use the same units throughout so the result is easier to understand.
Does the angle matter?
Yes. Maximum torque occurs when the force acts at a right angle to the lever.
