Torque to Weight Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Torque to Weight Ratio.
TWR = TQ / W
- Where TWR is the Torque to Weight Ratio (lbf-ft/(lbs))
- TQ is the total torque (lbf-ft)
- W is the total weight (lbs)
How to Calculate Torque to Weight Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Torque to Weight Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total torque (lb-ft).
- The total torque (lbf-ft) is given as: 500.
- Next, determine the total weight (lbs).
- The total weight (lbs) is provided as: 1000.
- Finally, calculate the Torque to Weight Ratio using the equation above:
TWR = TQ / W
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
TWR = 500 / 1000 = .50 (lbf-ft/(lbs))
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total torque (lbf-ft) = 300
total weight (lbs) = 2000
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
TWR = TQ / W = ?
