Torque Calculator
Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Understanding torque is essential in mechanical engineering, automotive design, and physics, as it determines the rotational power output of engines and motors.

How It Works
Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance from the pivot point (the lever arm). The direction of the force must be perpendicular to the lever arm for the standard formula.
The Formula
The formula for torque is: τ = F × r
