A Newton meter is a device that measures force. The simple ones that you typically see in high school laboratories use a spring that stretches or is compressed as a force is applied. They have an indicator needle that shows how much force is applied. See link below for a picture. More sophisticated ones typically use load cells to more accurately measure the force. Some people believe they were invented by Isaac newton but this is not the case. The SI unit of force is called a Newton in his honor. Since these meters measure force they are named after this unit. There is sometimes confusion with a Newton Meter (note different spelling) which is the SI unit of torque. (Turning force.)
Force is measured in newton. Weight is a force; therefore it is also measured in newton.

The Newton.
Pressure measures force distributed over an area. It is defined as the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa).
A newton is a unit used to measure force.
That's because "newton" is the international (SI) unit of force.
The SI unit that measures the strength of a force is the newton (N). It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared.
Newton
We use force to push an object. The SI unit of force is Newton. Newton is the force which can move a body of mass 1 kg with a speed of 1m/s.
The force that measures the pull of gravity on an object is called weight. Weight is a vector quantity with the SI unit of Newtons (N). It is calculated as the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth).
The unit for air resistance is Newtons (N), which measures the force exerted by air on an object in the opposite direction of its motion.
The unit that measures electrical force is voltage, typically measured in volts. A common value for voltage in household electricity is 115 volts in the United States.
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. Scientists and physicists need to be very clear and precise when they explain technical terms.
The unit that measures the amount of electrical push or force in a circuit is the volt. It is named after Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit and is responsible for driving the flow of electrons.
