Key Terminology
-
Newton meter (N*m)
-
SI derived unit of torque defined by a one newton force applied at a one metre lever arm, representing rotational effect.
-
Newton centimeter (N*cm)
-
Torque unit equal to the moment from a one newton force applied at a one centimetre lever arm, equal to 0.01 N*m.
-
Torque
-
A measure of the moment of force that causes rotational movement around an axis.
