Torque Formula

The basic formula for torque (τ\tauτ) is:

\tau = r \times F

Where:

• \tau = Torque (in Newton-meters, Nm)
• r = Distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied (in meters, m)
• F = Force applied (in Newtons, N)

Common Torque Units

• Newton-meter (Nm)
• Pound-foot (lb-ft)
• Pound-inch (lb-in)
• Kilogram-meter (kg-m)
• Ounce-inch (oz-in)
• Meter-kilogram (m-kg)

Example Conversions

To convert 10 \text{Nm} to \text{lb-ft} :

10 \text{Nm} \times 0.73756 \text{lb-ft/Nm} = 7.3756 \text{lb-ft}

To convert 20 \text{lb-ft} to \text{Nm} :

20 \text{lb-ft} \times 1.35582 \text{Nm/lb-ft} = 27.1164 \text{Nm}
