What are Newton-meter and Pound-force-foot

Definition of Newton-meter

A Newton-meter (Nm) is the SI unit of torque, representing the force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point. One Nm equals the torque resulting from a one newton force applied perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long.

Definition of Pound-force-foot

A Pound-force-foot (lb-ft) is a unit of torque in the imperial system. It measures the rotational force applied at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. One lb-ft equals the torque produced by one pound of force acting at a perpendicular leverage point one foot from the axis of rotation.
