Common Scenarios

Torque conversion is widely used in auto repair, mechanical engineering, and bicycle modification. When reading car repair manuals, bolt tightening torques are often specified in lb-ft or N·m.

History & Background

The concept of torque is closely related to the lever principle; Archimedes famously said, "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth." James Watt used pound-force feet to measure the output of steam engine shafts.

Conversion Details

Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object. The SI unit is the Newton-meter (N·m).

Common conversions: 1 lb·ft ≈ 1.3558 N·m, 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m.
