Torque or Moment of Force - Online Converter

Torque or moment - the tendency of a force to rotate an object. Convert between common torque or moment units using the formula T = F × a, where T is torque, F is force, and a is moment arm.

Torque or Moment of Force - Online Converter

Torque or moment - the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis or a point - is defined as the product of the force and the distance from the point or axis to the force vector.

Formula: T = F × a

Where:

  • T = torque or moment of force (Nm, lbf ft)
  • F = applied force (N, lbf)
  • a = moment arm (m, ft)

Example - Torque exerted by a Wrench

A force of 250 N is acting at the end of a 30 cm long wrench. The torque exerted:

T = (250 N) × (30 cm) × (0.01 m/cm) = 75 Nm
