It's a newton-metre, folks.
A newton meter or N·m is the SI measurement of torque. Another measurement of torque is pounds foot of torque. A newton meter can also be a measurement of energy, and is the energy required to lift a one Newton weight one meter against earth's gravity that is to say above the ground. This means that a newton meter has exactly the same energy as a Joule.

∙ 13y agoThe Imperial unit was the foot-pound force, commonly shortened to foot-pound. This was the torque generated by applying one pound-force at a distance of one foot.
The foot-pound was also commonly used as a measure of energy, and the pound-force (commonly just 'pound') was a measure weight, distinct from pound as a unit of mass. The potential for confusion is obvious.

∙ 15y agoAnother name for a Newton metre is a force metre because a newton metre measres force. For example 1 newton doesn't have much force but 50 newtons has a lot of force. By Rebecca Page

∙ 9y agoA newton metre is a unit or torque or moment. A combined derived unit of force in the SI system.
It is equal to about 0.74 foot pounds in Imperial units

Is a newton a basic unit of force?
A Newton is the metric system unit of force. 1 Newton is equivalent to 1 kg·m/(sec²). In US customary, it's approximately equal to 4.45 pounds force. The Wikipedia article in the related link (below) has some good information.
What is the difference between a Newton and a Newton Meter?
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.)
A unit that measures force?
Newton
What is the metric unit for force?
the newton (:
What is a resolution of the newton meter?
Newton.meter is a work unit; where newton is a force unit and meter is a distance unit (in SI unit system).
What is the unit of torque in SI and british?
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.
How many c-newton meters in a newton meter?
There is no unit called "c-newton meter." If you meant "centinewton meter," then there are 0.01 centinewton meters in a newton meter.
How do you convert nm to meters?
You can't. Newton-meters are a unit of force. Meters are a unit of distance. The two are not directly related.
What units are force in?
Forces are measured in Newtons (N). A Newton is a derived SI unit. Sometimes the calculation of a force will give the units kg*m/s^2, this is equivalent to a Newton. The English unit of force is the pound.
What is the unit that is used to calculate force?
Newton meters. (nm)
What SI unit for force is the newton Which of the following units are equivalent to a newton?
Kilogram-meters per second squared. kg m/s2
What are units of torque?
Newton-Meters
Newtons times meters this is know as what?
joules
What are the SI and English units of force?
The SI unit of force is the newton (N), while the English unit of force is the pound (lb).
Can you multiply newtons by meters?
No, the result of multiplying Newtons by meters is not a valid unit in physics. Newtons represent a unit of force, while meters represent a unit of distance. If you multiply Newtons by meters, you get Newton-meters, which represents a unit of work or energy, also known as a joule.
What units of measurement does a force meter use?
A force meter typically uses units of measurement such as newtons (N) or pounds-force (lbf) to measure force. These units quantify the amount of force being applied to an object.
What is the unit used to measure work equal to one newton -meter?
Newton-meter IN THIS CONTEXT is equivalent to joule.
