`tau = F * r * sin(theta)`

Enter a value for all fields

The Torque at an angle Calculator computes the torque 'tau' using the Force(F), the length of the lever arm (r) and the angle('theta') from the pivot point.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (F) Force
• (r) length of the lever arm
• (θ) Angle from the pivot point

Torque('tau'): The calculator returns the torque ('tau') in newton-meters. However, this can be automatically converted to other units via the pull-down menu.  

The Math / Science

Torque is described as being a force applied to an object at a point that is away from the pivot point of an object.
