Work Done By Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Work Done By Torque.
Wt = t * d(θ)
- Where Wt is the Work Done By Torque (Joules)
- t is the total torque (N-m)
- d(θ) is the change in angular position (radians)
How to Calculate Work Done By Torque?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Work Done By Torque.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total torque (N-m). In this example, the total torque (N-m) is given as 40.
- Next, determine the change in angular position (radians). For this problem, the change in angular position (radians) is given as 100.
- Finally, calculate the Work Done By Torque using the equation above:
Wt = t * d(θ)
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Wt = 40 * 100 = 4000 (Joules)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
total torque (N-m) = 15
change in angular position (radians) = 30
Entering these values yields:
Wt = 15 * 30 = 450 (Joules)
