Forces and Moments Calculators

Force Calculator

Understanding how objects interact is the basis of classical mechanics. The Force Calculator uses Newton's Second Law (Force = mass * acceleration) to determine the net force acting on an object. Whether you are calculating the thrust required for an aircraft or the force needed to lift a 70 kg weight, this tool provides instant results in Newtons. It is a fundamental resource for students and engineers analyzing structural loads and dynamic systems.

Torque Calculator

Rotational force is essential in mechanical design. The Torque Calculator determines the twisting force applied to an object (Torque = Force * distance) at a specific distance from its pivot point. This tool is widely used by automotive enthusiasts and engineers to calculate engine output or the leverage required for various mechanical assemblies. By inputting the force and the length of the lever arm, you can ensure your mechanical designs are efficient and safe.

Friction Calculator

No real-world movement happens without resistance. The Friction Calculator estimates the force of friction between two surfaces in contact (Friction = coefficient * normal force). By selecting the coefficient of friction and the normal force, you can determine if an object will slide or remain stationary. This is crucial for designing braking systems, industrial conveyors, and analyzing the grip of tires on different road surfaces.

Momentum Calculator

Analyze the quantity of motion with the Momentum Calculator. This tool computes the product of an object's mass and its velocity (Momentum = mass * velocity). It is essential for understanding collisions, impulse, and safety engineering. Whether you are studying particle physics or vehicle safety ratings, knowing the momentum helps in predicting the outcome of physical impacts and energy transfers.

Weight Calculator

Gravity affects everything. The Weight Calculator determines the gravitational force acting on a mass on Earth (Weight = mass * gravity). It helps distinguish between mass and weight, which is a common point of confusion in physics. For example, a 70 kg mass results in a specific weight in Newtons that engineers must account for when designing support structures or aircraft components.

Angle Torque Calculator

When force is applied at an angle, the effective torque changes. The Angle Torque Calculator handles complex rotations where the force is not perpendicular to the lever arm (Torque = Force * distance * sin of angle). By including the angle of application, it provides a precise calculation for specialized mechanical components and architectural joints that operate under non-standard conditions.

Pressure Calculator

Force distributed over an area creates pressure. The Pressure Calculator finds the intensity of force per unit area (Pressure = Force / Area). This is a vital tool for civil and electrical engineering students working with hydraulic systems, atmospheric data, or structural stress analysis. It ensures that components can withstand the internal or external pressures applied to them.

Stress Calculator

Material science relies on understanding internal resistance. The Stress Calculator computes the internal force per unit area (Stress = Force / Area) within a material when an external load is applied. It is used to determine if a beam, cable, or electrical component will deform or fail under specific operating conditions, ensuring the longevity of your engineering projects.

Strain Calculator

Deformation is a natural response to stress. The Strain Calculator measures the relative change in the shape or size of an object compared to its original state (Strain = change in length / original length). By analyzing the ratio of extension to original length, engineers can select materials with the right elasticity and strength for everything from airplane wings to electrical housing.

Work Calculator

Energy transfer is measured through work. The Work Calculator determines the energy used when a force moves an object over a distance (Work = Force * distance). It is essential for calculating the energy requirements of motors, the effort needed for construction tasks, and understanding the physical work involved in any mechanical process.

Power Calculator

Power is the rate at which work is done. The Power Calculator finds how much energy is transferred per unit of time (Power = Work / time). This is a key metric for electrical engineering, as it helps in sizing motors, generators, and battery systems to ensure they can handle the required work rate of a specific application.

Potential Energy Calculator

Stored energy is as important as moving energy. The Potential Energy Calculator estimates the energy an object has due to its position or height (Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height). It is used in physics and civil engineering to calculate the energy available in hydroelectric dams, the safety of elevated loads, and the mechanical energy within spring-based systems.
