What is Newton-Meter?

The newton-meter is the SI derived unit of torque, equal to the rotational effect of a 1-newton force applied at a 1-meter lever arm.

Short history of Newton-Meter

Derived directly from the SI units of force and length, the newton-meter became the standard unit for expressing rotational effect in engineering.
