Rotation, Circular Motion & Gravitation Calculators

Rigid-body rotation and orbital mechanics: torque, moment of inertia, angular velocity and momentum, centripetal force, Newtonian gravity, escape and orbital speeds. Used from statics homework to satellite and flywheel estimates.

Which one do you need?

Torque Calculator
Calculate torque from force, lever arm length and the angle between them, or back-solve the force or radius, with newton-meters and pound-feet shown.
Moment of Inertia Calculator
Find the mass moment of inertia of a rod, disk, hoop, cylinder, sphere or plate, shift the axis with the parallel-axis theorem, and get stored energy.
Centripetal Force & Acceleration Calculator
Calculate centripetal force and acceleration from mass, speed and radius, with the equivalent g-force and the friction- or bank-limited cornering speed.
