What are Kilojoule and Newton Meter

Definition of Kilojoule

A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to 1,000 joules. One joule is the energy transferred when applying a force of one newton over a distance of one meter. Therefore, a kilojoule represents a significant amount of work done or heat transferred in scientific and practical applications, including physical, chemical, and biological processes.

Definition of Newton Meter

A newton meter (Nm) is a unit of torque (also called moment) in the International System of Units (SI). It describes the rotational force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point. One newton meter is equivalent to the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long. It is used to measure the effectiveness of rotational forces in engineering and physics.

5 kJ 5000 Nm
6 kJ 6000 Nm
7 kJ 7000 Nm
8 kJ 8000 Nm
9 kJ 9000 Nm
10 kJ 10000 Nm

Conversion of Kilojoule to Newton Meter

1 kJ = 1000 Nm
1 Nm = 0.001 kJ

Example 1:
convert 5 kJ to Nm:
5 kJ = 5 × 1000 Nm = 5000 Nm

Example 2:
convert 7.5 kJ to Nm:
7.5 kJ = 7.5 × 1000 Nm = 7500 Nm
