Pounds is another measure of force, e.g 14.7 pounds per square inch.

"Newton meter" is a measure of Energy, Newton is the measure of force.

Ft-pound is a measure of energy e.g 3/4 ft-pound =1 Newton meter.

This gives Newton = 9/40 Pound = .225 Pound . Torque is the most commonly used application for Newton.metre (Nm) Pounds per square inch is a unit of Pressure ,which has nothing to do with Energy or Torque. Torque is a rotational form of energy. The maximum Torque of a motor of any type is usually specified by the manufacturer. Incidentally, Torque measured in Nm is NOT the same thing as Power. Power is measured in Kilowatt (Kw) or in Watts if it is a very low power motor. We are discussing Engineering terms here, and we need to be sure we understand what we are discussing, and use the correct terms to avoid confusion.

How much is one cubic meter to newton?

A cubic metre is a measure of volume, whereas a Newton is a measure of force. The two measure different things and, according to the basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.


What are the units to measure forces?

The standard unit is the Newton. Other units include kilogram-force and pound-force.


How do you convert liter to newton liter?

You cannot. A Newton is a measure of force, a pound is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert from one to the other without additional information.


What is an example of a newton?

Newtons are a measurement of force; the amount of force necessary to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second (in other words, the acceleration is continual). Here's a complete explanation:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton


What is the unit of measurement for force called?

The Newton A force is a "push or a pull" One Newton is the force necessary to move a mass of 1kg by one meter in a second, not taking into account any other external forces such as gravity or friction.


What is 1 newton per meter square in ton?

There is no equivalence. A Newton per square metre, or Pascal, is a measure of pressure while a tonne is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid without some addition information.


How do you accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second?

Push on it with a force that is [ 1 newton greater and opposite to the direction of ]the sum of any other forces on it.


What does forcemeter measure?

A force meter measures a force being applied. It is often as simple as a spring with calibrated markings. The most common example is a spring weighing scale that measure the gravitational force on an object. Other systems use solid state sensors such as electronic weighing scales. Note that a force meter used to weigh objects is a measure of gravitational force and does not measure mass. Weight and mass are commonly confused.


How many newtons per square meter is 1 meter per second air flow?

Newton per square meter is a unit of pressure; cubicmeter per second is a measure of air flow. I don't think it makes sense to convert one to the other.

How do you convert 497 newton into metric tons?

A Newton is a measure of force, a metric ton is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and there is no direct conversion from one to the other.


How many kg is 1 Newton in scientific notation?

"Kg" is an abbreviation for 'kilogram', which is a unit of mass. "Newton-meter" is a unit of work (or energy). These two units are used to measure different quantities, they have different physical dimensions, and they can't be converted into each other.
