About Torque Conversion
Torque, also known as moment of force, is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. It is essential in various mechanical and engineering applications, and different units are used to measure torque.
Here are some common units of torque measurement:
- Newton-meter (N·m) - The standard unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI). One Newton-meter is the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a lever arm one meter long.
- Pound-foot (lb·ft) - A unit of torque commonly used in the United States. One pound-foot is the torque resulting from a force of one pound applied perpendicularly to a lever arm one foot long.
- Kilogram-meter (kg·m) - A unit of torque where one kilogram-meter is the torque resulting from a force of one kilogram applied perpendicularly to a lever arm one meter long under standard gravity.
- Dyne-centimeter (dyn·cm) - A CGS unit of torque. One dyne-centimeter is the torque resulting from a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly to a lever arm one centimeter long.
