20 foot-pounds equates to approximately 27.1nM
You could have 'newton-centimeters', or 'newton-inches', or 'pound meters' etc., but you can't have 'newton pounds'. Torque is (a distance) x (a force), but 'newton pound' is (force) x (force). Whether or not that has any physical significance at all, it's surely not torque.
What is the torque of a 500 Newton force applied to a 30 meters wrench?
joules
Torque would decrease as the source of the force gets closer to the pivot ( center ). Torque is measured in foot pounds or newton meters. The torque on created by 10 lbs at 2 feet is ( 2 x 10 ) 20 ft lbs. The torque created by 10 lbs at 1.5 feet is ( 1.5 x 10 ) 15 ft lbs.

No. 10 inch pounds = about 1.13 newton meters.

According to the Chilton manual, the torque settings are 15 to 20 foot pounds or 21 to 27 Newton Meters.
You use a 5 to 1 torque multiplier and pull 494 newton meters.
Newton meters (Nm) or foot pounds (ft-lbs) are the most common types. But Nm is the more common one.
force times length is the dimension for Work or Energy or Torque. Some examples are Newton meters (equivalent to Joules), inch pounds, foot pounds. The pounds are pounds force, not pounds mass.
The torque specification for the rocker arm nut on a 1997 Chevy Cavalier is 22 foot pounds. This is the equivalent of 30 newton meters.
Torque is measured as a unit of length times a unit of force, so the SI unit is Newton-meters (Newton times meters). Imperial units would probably be something like foot-pound. Note that this is unrelated to energy units, also measured in Newton-meters. The unit "joule" as an equivalent for Newton-meters is only used for energy units, not for torque units.
