Calculation method
Calculation method
Torque magnitude (N·m)
abs(a × b × sin(c × π ÷ 180))
Symbols and units
- a
- Force (N)
- b
- Lever arm (m)
- c
- Angle (degrees)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Calculation steps and notation
abs(x) is the magnitude of x without its sign.
sin uses an angle in radians. Convert degrees by multiplying by π/180.
π is the circle constant, approximately 3.141592653589793.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- The angle lies between the lever arm and force. This outputs magnitude, not a vector direction.
