Pound-foot (torque)

A pound-foot (lbf⋅ft) is a unit of torque representing one pound of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. Conversely one pound-foot is the moment about an axis that applies one pound-force at a radius of one foot. The value in SI units is given by multiplying the following exact factors: One pound (mass) = 0.45359237 kilogramsStandard gravity = 9.80665 m/s2One foot = 0.3048 m This gives the exact conversion factor: One pound-foot = 1.3558179483314004 newton metres. The name "pound-foot", intended to minimize confusion with the foot-pound as a unit of work, was apparently first proposed by British physicist Arthur Mason Worthington. Despite this, in practice torque units are commonly called the foot-pound (denoted as either lb-ft or ft-lb) or the inch-pound (denoted as in-lb). Practitioners depend on context and the hyphenated abbreviations to know that these refer to neither energy nor moment of mass (as the symbol ft-lb rather than lbf-ft would imply). Similarly, an inch-pound (or pound-inch) is the torque of one pound of force applied to one inch of distance from the pivot, and is equal to 1⁄12 lbf⋅ft (0.1129848 N⋅m). It is commonly used on torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers for setting specific fastener tension. (Wikipedia).

What is a Newton-Meter? An Explanation

This video explains the two different situations where the unit of measurement is the newton-meter. The first case is for work and energy. The unit for work is the joule. Work is done when a force (newtons) is applied through a distance (meters). Work is calculated as the force times the
