Discover the simplicity of converting ft-lb to kp·m with our Foot-pound to Kilopond Meter Converter, developed by Newtum. Experience the ease of measurement conversions that pique your curiosity.
A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Imperial and US customary systems. It is the energy transferred when applying a one-pound force through a distance of one foot. In essence, it combines two units of measurement: feet for distance and pounds for force.
Definition of Kilopond MeterA kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque in the metric system. It is the moment of force generated by one kilopond force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot point. It's a measure of rotational force where 'kilopond' signifies force and 'meter' the distance.
