A Newton meter (Nm) is a unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. On the other hand, a foot pound (ft-lb) is a unit of torque commonly used in the United States and United Kingdom, defined as the amount of energy needed to move a one-pound force a distance of one foot.
To convert Newton meters (Nm) to foot pounds (ft-lb), you can use the following conversion formula:
