Newton-Meter (N·m)

Definition

A Newton-Meter is a unit used for measuring torque or work done. It represents the amount of force applied perpendicular to a lever arm multiplied by the length of that lever arm.

Related terms

Lever Arm: A lever arm refers to the perpendicular distance between an axis or pivot point and the line of action of a force applied to rotate an object.

Work:

In physics, work is defined as the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance. It is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of the force by the displacement in the direction of the force.

Power:

Power measures how quickly work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated by dividing work done by time taken.
