How does a force meter measure a force?

A Newton meter does not measure force! Newton meter measures energy E. A Newton measures force. A Nm (Newton Metre)is also the unit used to measure TORQUE which is the twisting energy available if a force of 1Newton was acting at a radius of 1metre on the end of a shaft. A Newton is equal to 0.102 Kilogram. A Newton does not measure force, it is a unit of force, just as a kilogram is a unit of force.
