1. Physics Types (score: 1): Author: "John S. van Syckel" <vansyck@heidelberg-emh11.army.mil>; Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 16:38:45 +0200; I would like to ask for some help from some of you "Physics Types." I have been told that a "Newton/Meter" (or "Meter/Newton") is the metric equivalent of foot/pound. 1. Is this true? 2. And if it is; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00544.html (7,401 bytes)
2. Re: Physics Types (score: 1): Author: Rich Mason <rmason@ro.com>; Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 10:03:06 -0500; Newton-meter is the metric unit for torque. Foot-pounds X 1.3558 = Newton-Meters Newton-Meters X 0.7378 = Foot-pounds Cheers, Rich Mason '73 MGB Huntsville, AL _______________________________________; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00545.html (7,607 bytes)
3. Re: Physics Types (score: 1): Author: palte@rt.el.utwente.nl (Bert Palte); Date: Thu, 12 Jun 97 17:05:52 +0200; Almost. The correct term is N.m ('Newton multiplied by meter', as opposed to what you write, that is: 'Newton divided by meter'). The older unit being kg.m ('kilogram multiplied by meter') which is; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00546.html (8,062 bytes)

Re: Physics Types (score: 1): Author: Len Bugel <bugel@bianca.sms.k12.vt.us>; Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 11:52:28 -0400 (EDT); A newton-meter (newtons times meters, _not_ newton/meter!) is a unit of torque, as is a ft-lb. One N-M = 0.738 ft-lb, or equivalently one ft-lb = 1.36 N-M. Multiply ft-lbs by 1.36 to get N-M. Len Bug; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00550.html (7,963 bytes)
6. Re: Physics Types (score: 1): Author: "W. R. Gibbons" <gibbons@northpole.med.uvm.edu>; Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 14:24:02 -0400 (EDT); Yup, if by equivalent you mean they are both measures of the same physical property. The schools are really failing young people today. As a morning exercise before the start of the fifth grade, we u; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00558.html (8,213 bytes)
7. Re: Physics Types (score: 1): Author: gallianp@onyx.xtalwind.net (Paul Gallian); Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 22:10:47 -0400; When I was in school we did not convert Nm to "pound feet" by subtracting meters from newtons and then multiplying it by 0.7375621 as the above suggest. Of course that may not be a minus sign in #2?; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00575.html (8,671 bytes)

Re: Physics Types (score: 1): Author: "Mark Shone" <shone@singnet.com.sg>; Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 23:10:55 +0800; Hi Jay, 'Torque' or 'the moment of a force' or 'the turning effect of a force' (all the same) is measured in newton metres (NOT newtons PER metre) which as you stated correctly is measuring the same; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg00655.html (7,888 bytes)
