Torque can be calculated using the formula:
Torque = Force x Distance
Where:
- Torque is the rotational force applied to an object
- Force is the perpendicular force applied to the object
- Distance is the distance between the point of application of the force and the axis of rotation
Alternatively, torque can also be calculated using the formula:
Torque = Moment of Inertia x Angular Acceleration
Where:
- Moment of Inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation
- Angular Acceleration is the rate at which an object's angular velocity changes over time
These formulas can be used to calculate the torque applied to an object in various situations, such as when a force is applied to a lever or when a motor is used to rotate an object.

Formula:
Torque (τ) = Force (F) x Distance from pivot (r)
Variables:
- Torque (τ): Measure of the twisting or turning force about a pivot point, measured in Newton-meters (N·m).
- Force (F): Force applied to the lever arm, measured in Newtons (N).
- Distance from pivot (r): Perpendicular distance from the pivot point to the line of action of the force, measured in meters (m).
Steps:
1. Identify the force and its line of action: Determine the magnitude and direction of the force applied to the lever arm.
2. Locate the pivot point: Identify the point about which the object is pivoting or rotating.
3. Measure the distance from the pivot: Determine the perpendicular distance between the pivot point and the line of action of the force.
4. Multiply force by distance: Calculate the torque by multiplying the force by the distance from the pivot.
Example:
If a force of 10 N is applied to a lever arm that is 2 m from the pivot point, the torque would be:
```
τ = F x r
τ = 10 N x 2 m
τ = 20 N·m
```
Note:
- Torque is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
- The direction of torque is perpendicular to both the force and the distance vectors.
- If the force is applied in a direction that reduces the rotation about the pivot, the torque is considered negative.
