Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 1 pound-force foot represent?
- It represents the torque caused by one pound-force applied at a lever arm of one foot, indicating rotational force in U.S. customary units.
- Is a newton meter the same as a joule?
- Dimensionally they are equal, but a newton meter denotes torque (rotational force), while a joule measures energy.
- Why convert pound-force foot to newton meter?
- To express torque values in SI units for international engineering, manufacturing, and scientific use.
Key Terminology
- Pound-force foot [lbf*ft]
- A unit of torque representing one pound-force applied at a one-foot lever arm; primarily used in U.S. customary engineering.
- Newton meter [N*m]
- The SI derived unit for torque, equal to one newton force applied perpendicularly at one meter from the pivot.
- Torque
- The rotational force or moment of force that causes an object to rotate about an axis.
