Torque Formula

Basic Formula

τ = F × r × sin(θ)

Where:

  • • τ = torque (N⋅m)
  • • F = force (N)
  • • r = lever arm (m)
  • • θ = angle between force and lever

Perpendicular Force

τ = F × r

When force is perpendicular (θ = 90°)

Common Torques

  • • Car engine: 200-500 N⋅m
  • • Bicycle pedal: 40-100 N⋅m
  • • Door handle: 2-5 N⋅m
