where
T = moment or torque (Nm, lbf ft)
F = applied force (N, lbf)
a = length of the wrench (m, ft)
Note! - Most scales in the SI unit system measures weight - force due to the acceleration of gravity - in kg.
The reading from the scale can be converted to N by using
F = m g
where
m = reading of the scale (kg, lbf)
g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2, 32.17 ft/s2)
The reading of the scale at the end of the wrench is 10 kg. The length of the wrench is 0.3 m. The moment exerted can be calculated
T = (10 kg) (9.81 m/s2) (0.3 m)
= 29.4 Nm
The reading of the scale at the end of the wrench is 20 lbf. The length of the wrench is 6 in. The moment exerted can be calculated
T = (20 lbf) (6 in)
= 120 in lbf
= 10 lbf ft
