Unit Story
Newton-meter
A newton-meter of torque is one newton of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter. Context matters because the same unit dimensions can also describe energy.
Pound-foot of torque
A pound-foot of torque is one pound-force applied one foot from the pivot. Vehicle engine output and larger fastener specifications commonly use it.
