Converting from Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf) to Newton Centimeter (N•cm) in Torque

What is Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf)

Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf) is a unit of torque commonly used in the United States. It measures the amount of rotating force applied to an object when a one-pound force is exerted at a distance of one foot from the axis of rotation.

What is Newton Centimeter (N•cm)

Newton Centimeter (N•cm) is a metric unit of torque used in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the torque generated when a one-newton force is applied at a distance of one centimeter from the axis of rotation.
