Sir Isaac newton did not invent the Newton.metre. This is the SI unit of torque, and is the rotational force exerted by a one Newton force acting one metre from the centre of rotation or axis (this is the distance arm or moment arm). The unit of force in the SI system of units is the Newton, (the force required to to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second per second).

The Newton was named in honour of his work on the laws of motion, in particular his second law of motion which deals with the effect of force on the motion of a body. So his work enabled an understanding of the action and effects of forces.
