What does one ounce-force inch represent?

An ounce-force inch represents the moment produced by a force of one avoirdupois ounce acting through a one-inch lever arm.

Is a newton meter unit used for torque or energy?

A newton meter is used to represent both work or energy and torque; however, torque and energy are conceptually distinct despite sharing the same unit symbol.

Why convert ounce-force inch to newton meter?

Converting to newton meters helps express small torque or energy measurements in a standardized SI unit widely used in physics and engineering.
