Unit Definitions
What is a Newton-Meter (N·m)?
A Newton-Meter (N·m) is a unit of torque, which measures the rotational force applied at a distance.
History
The Newton-Meter is named after Sir Isaac Newton, recognizing his foundational contributions to classical mechanics. It has been widely adopted in engineering and physics since the SI unit system was established.
Current Use
Today, N·m is commonly used in various applications, including mechanical engineering, automotive specifications, and construction.

A Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, defined as the work done when a force of one Newton displaces an object by one meter.
History
Named after physicist James Prescott Joule, this unit has been fundamental in the development of thermodynamics and energy measurement since the 19th century.
Current Use
Joules are used widely in science, engineering, and everyday contexts to quantify energy, heat, and work done.
