How to conceptually calculate the torque of an angled force

Calculating the torque of an angled force is not as hard as it sounds. Resembling other units of Physics, solving without trigonometry functions relies on breaking the problem into components. To do this, you need a right triangle. Using the force vector as your hypotenuse, simply solve for the X and Y components using any one of the possible “non-trigonomic” math formulas. After your calculations, take the value of the component perpendicular to the lever arm. Representing the force (F), this value can simply be multiplied by the distance of the lever arm to yield Torque.
