Net Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Net Torque.
Tnet = ∑ f*sin(a)*r
- Where Tnet is the Net Torque (N-m)
- f is the forces (N)
- a is the angles (degrees)
- r is the radius (m)
How to Calculate Net Torque?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Net Torque.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the forces (N). In this example, the forces (N) are determined to be 10,30,5 .
- Next, determine the angles (degrees). For this problem, the angles (degrees) are measured to be 5,10,75 .
- Next, determine the radius (m). In this case, the radius (m) is found to be 4.
- Finally, calculate the Net Torque using the formula above:
Tnet = ∑ f*sin(a)*r
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Tnet = ∑ f*sin(a)*r = 43.64 (N-m)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the formula. For this example problem, these are:
forces (N) = 6,8,9
angles (degrees) = 20,30,60
radius (m) = 10
Enter these given values into the calculator or above yields:
Tnet = 138.463 (N-m)
