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 74.16 pound feet?
As;
1 pound feet = 1.3558176051671 newton meters
74.16 pound feet = Y newton meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 74.16 times 1.3558176051671 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 74.16 * 1.3558176051671 / 1 = 100.54743359919 newton meters
Answer is: 100.54743359919 newton meters are equivalent to 74.16 pound feet.
