A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Imperial and US customary systems. It is the amount of energy transferred when a force of one pound-force is applied over a displacement of one foot. In other terms, it's the torque created by one pound of force acting at a one-foot radius.
Definition of Newton meterA Newton meter (Nm) is a unit of torque (also called 'moment') in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long. It is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot.
