Understanding Newton-Meters and Torque
What is a Newton-Meter?
A newton-meter (N⋅m) is the SI (International System of Units) unit of torque. It represents the rotational force of one newton applied at a perpendicular distance of one meter from the axis of rotation.
Torque vs. Work
Although torque (N⋅m) and work/energy (Joules) have the same units, they represent different physical quantities. Torque is a rotational force, while work is energy transferred by force.
Formula
τ = r × F × sin(θ)
- τ: Torque (N⋅m)
- r: Distance from axis (m)
- F: Applied force (N)
- θ: Angle between force and lever arm
