Pound Foot (abbreviations: lb.ft, or lb ft, or pound.foot): is the moment of force in pound times the distance between reference and application points in foot.
Newton Meter (abbreviations: N.m, or nm, or newton.meter): is the moment of force in newton times the distance between reference and application points in meter.
How to Convert Pound Feet to Newton Meters
Example: How many newton meters are equivalent to 14.61 pound feet?
As;
1 pound feet = 1.3558176051671 newton meters
14.61 pound feet = Y newton meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 14.61 times 1.3558176051671 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 14.61 * 1.3558176051671 / 1 = 19.808495211491 newton meters
Answer is: 19.808495211491 newton meters are equivalent to 14.61 pound feet.
