Torque Calculator

❓ FAQs

Q1: How do I calculate torque?
✅ Torque is calculated by multiplying force (in Newtons) by the distance (in meters) from the pivot point. The formula is **τ = F × d**.

Q2: What units are used for torque?
✅ Torque is measured in **Newton-meters (Nm)** in the SI system. In other systems, it can be expressed as foot-pounds (ft-lb) or inch-pounds (in-lb).

Q3: Why is torque important?
✅ Torque is crucial in engineering, automotive, and physics applications. It determines how effectively a force can rotate an object, such as tightening bolts or driving gears.

Q4: How does torque relate to rotational motion?
✅ Torque directly affects an object’s angular acceleration. The greater the torque applied, the faster an object will rotate if all other factors remain constant.

Q5: What is the difference between torque and power?
✅ Torque measures the rotational force applied, while power is the rate at which work is done. Power is calculated as **Power = Torque × Angular Velocity**.
