Calculator and formulas for calculating the torque

Torque calculator


Torque indicates the force generated at the pivot point when the lever is moved by a force at the other end of the lever. The longer the lever, the less force is required to generate the rotational force or torque. The unit for torque is Newton meter (Nm).

To calculate, enter the required value and click the 'Calculate' button.

Torque formulas

Torque is defined as Newton (N) per meter. This means that if a force of 1 N acts perpendicularly on the arm of a lever on a 1 meter long lever, the torque is 1N at the pivot point.

When the lever is shortened or lengthened, the torque decreases or increases accordingly.
