This is not a very precise answer in terms of concepts but it will give you an idea of torque and its conversion. Think of a wrench 1 meter (or 3.28 feet) long between the twisting point - let's say of a nut - and the point where you place your hand to apply force to twist the nut. Imagine you apply a force equal to aproximately the pressure that you feel when you lay a pack of (let's say sugar) of about one kilogram (or 2.2 pounds) over your hand. The resulting twisting tendency or torque at the nut from the force of 1 kilo (we say one Kilogram force - Kgf) in a lever arm lenght of 1 meter will be one kilogram force meter (1 Kgfm). For practical purposes you may consider 1 Kgfm equals to 10 Newton meter (10 Nm). For more precise calculations use 9.80665Nm (remember the constant of gravity?). 1Kgfm = 9.80665Nm = 7.233014 ft.lbf (foot pounds or pound feet) So, 97 Nm = 9.891 Kgmf = 71.544 ft.lbf
