How the torque calculator works

Torque peaks when force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm — at 90 degrees, sin(θ) equals one.

Formula

τ = F × r × sin(θ)

Worked example

250 N on a 0.4 m wrench at 90° produces 100 N·m.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a longer wrench help?

Torque scales linearly with lever length, so doubling the handle doubles the torque.
