Angular Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Angular Torque.
Ta = m*r^2*α
- Where Ta is the Angular Torque (N-m)
- m is the mass (kg)
- r is the radius (m)
- α is the angular acceleration (rad/s^2)
How to Calculate Angular Torque?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Angular Torque.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the mass (kg). In this example, the mass (kg) is determined to be 10 .
- Next, determine the radius (m). For this problem, the radius (m) is measured to be 3 .
- Next, determine the angular acceleration (rad/s^2). In this case, the angular acceleration (rad/s^2) is found to be 40.
- Finally, calculate the Angular Torque using the formula above:
Ta = m*r^2*α
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Ta = 10*3^2*40 = 3,600 (N-m)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the formula. For this example problem, these are:
mass (kg) = 12
radius (m) = 5
angular acceleration (rad/s^2) = 15
Enter these given values yields:
Ta = 12*5^2*15 = 4500 (N-m)
