What are Newton Meter and Pound-force Inch

Definition of Newton Meter

A Newton Meter, denoted as Nm, is the SI unit of torque. It represents the torque resulting from a one Newton force applied perpendicularly to a one meter long moment arm. This unit quantifies the rotational force applied in mechanical systems, and its measurement is crucial in engineering and physics to ensure proper functionality and safety.

Definition of Pound-force Inch

A Pound-force Inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque commonly used in the United States. It describes the rotational force generated when a one pound-force is applied to a one inch radius. This unit is vital for tasks requiring precise torque specifications, such as assembling machinery and vehicle maintenance, ensuring components are fastened with the correct amount of rotational force.
