Foot-Pounds to Newton-Meters Converter
Definition
A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of energy or torque in the US customary system, equal to the work done by one pound-force over one foot, approximately 1.35581794833 joules. A newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of energy or torque, equal to 1 joule (1 N·m = 1 J).
History
The foot-pound emerged in the 19th century in Britain and the US, tied to imperial units for mechanical engineering and physics, notably in james watt’s work. The newton-meter, equivalent to the joule, was named after isaac newton and adopted by the SI system in 1960 for metric consistency.
