Enter the torque in Newton-meters and the weight in tons into the calculator to determine the torque per ton. This calculator helps in evaluating the efficiency of torque application relative to the weight of the object.
Torque Per Ton Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the torque per ton.
TPT = T / W
Variables:
- TPT is the torque per ton (Newton-meters per ton)
- T is the torque applied (Newton-meters)
- W is the weight of the object (tons)
To calculate the torque per ton, divide the torque applied by the weight of the object.
What is Torque Per Ton?
Torque per ton is a measure of how much torque is applied per unit of weight. It is a useful metric in automotive and mechanical engineering to assess the performance of engines and machinery in terms of their ability to apply force efficiently relative to their mass. A higher torque per ton indicates a more efficient application of force for the given weight.
How to Calculate Torque Per Ton?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Torque Per Ton.
- First, determine the torque applied (T) in Newton-meters.
- Next, determine the weight of the object (W) in tons.
- Next, gather the formula from above = TPT = T / W.
- Finally, calculate the Torque Per Ton (TPT) in Newton-meters per ton.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
torque applied (T) = 500 Newton-meters
weight of the object (W) = 2 tons
