What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Force (N) | Enter force in N; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Lever arm (m) | Enter lever arm in m; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Force-to-arm angle (degree) | Enter force-to-arm angle in degree; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Read Torque magnitude (N·m) in the units and model stated on this page. The formula torque=force*r*sin(angle*pi/180) defines the relationship; measurement accuracy and model applicability are separate from numerical precision.
Common mistakes
- Mixing input units or changing the physical meaning of a variable without changing the model.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
