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

What is Inch-Pound Force (in lbf)

Inch-Pound Force (in lbf) is a unit of torque used in the Imperial system to measure the amount of force applied when one pound-force is exerted at a distance of one inch.

What is Newton Centimeter (N•cm)

Newton Centimeter (N•cm) is a unit of torque from the International System of Units (SI) which represents the amount of force needed to produce rotational motion equivalent to one centimeter at a radial distance of one centimeter.
