Torque Calculator
Physics & EngineeringCalculate torque from applied force and lever arm length.
Torque
The torque produced, in Newton-meters, calculated as force times lever arm length (assuming force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is torque?
Torque is a rotational force, the tendency of a force to cause rotation around an axis or pivot point, calculated as the applied force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the pivot, called the lever arm or moment arm.
Why does a longer lever arm produce more torque for the same force?
A longer lever arm provides greater mechanical advantage, allowing the same applied force to produce more rotational torque, which is the principle behind tools like wrenches having longer handles for loosening tight bolts.
Does the angle of applied force matter for torque calculation?
Yes, this calculator assumes force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm for maximum torque — force applied at an angle produces less torque, requiring the angle component to be factored into a more complete calculation.
