What are Newton-centimeter and Pound-force foot

Definition of Newton-centimeter

A Newton-centimeter (N·cm) is a metric unit of torque, representing the moment of force exerted by one newton acting perpendicularly at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point. It quantifies the rotational force that causes an object to spin around an axis. Engineers and physicists often use this unit in various applications, from designing mechanical systems to understanding motor performance. Transitioning from theoretical concepts to practical implementations, the N·cm unit is essential for precise torque measurements.

Definition of Pound-force foot

A pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is an imperial unit of torque, indicating the moment of force produced by one pound-force applied perpendicularly at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. This unit measures rotational or twisting force, essential in mechanical and structural engineering. By transitioning from linear to rotational dynamics, the lbf·ft unit helps engineers assess the performance and efficiency of various mechanical systems and components, including engines, gearboxes, and structural joints.
