Torque Calculator

Calculate the torque using the equation:
\[ \tau = F \, r \, \sin\theta \] where \( F \) is the force, \( r \) is the lever arm length, and \( \theta \) is the angle between the force and the lever arm.

* Enter force (N), lever arm length (m), and angle (°).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 10 N

Example: 0.5 m

Example: 90° (if force is perpendicular)

Formula: \( \tau = F \, r \, \sin\theta \)


Practical Example:
If a force of 10 N is applied perpendicular (90°) to a 0.5 m long lever, then:
\[ \tau = 10 \times 0.5 \times \sin(90°) = 5\, \text{N·m} \]
