Understanding Torque
Torque, a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, represents the rotational force that causes an object to rotate around a fixed point. It's calculated as the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the force's line of action to the rotation axis. In practical applications, torque is crucial in everything from tightening bolts to measuring engine performance. Different industries and regions use various units of measurement, making conversion tools essential for global collaboration.
Common Applications
| Application | Typical Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Automotive Engines | N⋅m or lb⋅ft | 100-1000 N⋅m |
| Industrial Machinery | N⋅m | 50-5000 N⋅m |
| Precision Equipment | oz⋅in or N⋅cm | 0.1-10 N⋅m |
| Hand Tools | lb⋅ft or N⋅m | 10-200 N⋅m |
