System: Imperial
Newton-Meter (N⋅m)
The SI derived unit of torque.
System: SI
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Newton-Meter as the base unit. We'll first convert Pound-Force Foot to Newton-Meter, then convert from Newton-Meter to Newton-Meter.
Step 1: Convert from Pound-Force Foot to Newton-Meter
1 × 1.36 = 1.36
Result: 1.36 Newton-Meter
Step 2: Convert from Newton-Meter to Newton-Meter
1.36 × 1 = 1.36
Result: 1.36 Newton-Meter
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 1.36 = 1.36
Direct conversion: 1 Pound-Force Foot = 1.36 Newton-Meter
Newton-Meter (N⋅m)
System: SI
Definition:1 Newton-meter is the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm of one meter.
Origin: Derived from the SI units of force (Newton) and length (meter).
Common Usage: Widely used globally in physics, engineering, and mechanics.
