Torque is force times perpendicular lever arm. A torque in newton-meters is not an energy instruction even though energy has the same dimensions.

How to convert torque

Torque is force times perpendicular lever arm. A torque in newton-meters is not an energy instruction even though energy has the same dimensions.

Multiply by the source unit factor to get the base quantity, then divide by the target factor. The other-units table compares the same value without retyping it.

A worked example

10 foot-pounds force × 12 = 120 inch-pounds force.
