Lever Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Lever Torque.
TL = LF * D
- Where TL is the Lever Torque (N-m)
- LF is the lever force (N)
- D is the distance from the lever force to the fulcrum (m)
How to Calculate Lever Torque?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Lever Torque.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the lever force (N). In this example, the lever force (N) is measured to be 50.
- Next, determine the distance from the lever force to the fulcrum (m). For this problem, the distance from the lever force to the fulcrum (m) is calculated to be .75.
- Finally, calculate the Lever Torque using the formula above:
TL = LF * D
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
TL = 50 * .75 = 37.5 (N-m)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
lever force (N) = 75
distance from the lever force to the fulcrum (m) = .33
Entering these values yields:
TL = 75 * .33 = 25 (N-m)
