The torque calculator is a free online tool that helps you work out torque quickly and accurately. It uses the standard formula Torque = force x lever length and shows the result instantly as you type, along with a full breakdown so you can see exactly how the answer was reached.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the force.
- Enter the lever-arm length.
- See the torque.
Formula used
Torque = force x lever lengthExplanation of each input
- Force (N) โ the force used in the calculation.
- Lever length (m) โ the lever length used in the calculation.
Understanding your result
- Torque โ the calculated torque in Nm.
Step-by-step calculation
For the example values 100N, 0.5m:
- Apply the formula:
Torque = force x lever length - Substitute the values: 100x0.5
- Result: 50 Nm
