About Torque Calculator

The Torque Calculator helps engineers and students calculate torque (rotational force) applied on an object. Torque is fundamental in mechanical engineering, automotive design, robotics, and machinery.

Formula Used

T = F × d

• T = Torque (Nm)
• F = Force applied (N)
• d = Perpendicular distance from axis (m)

Applications

• ✅ Automotive torque (engine, wheels)
• ✅ Robotics and machinery
• ✅ Structural engineering
• ✅ Power transmission

FAQs

1. What is torque?

Torque is the rotational equivalent of force, representing the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis.

2. What are the units of torque?

The SI unit of torque is Newton-meter (Nm).

3. Can torque be negative?

Yes, torque can be clockwise (negative) or counterclockwise (positive) depending on direction.

4. Is torque the same as power?

No, torque is rotational force, while power is work done per unit time. Power depends on torque and angular velocity.
