A Newton-Meter is a unit of measurement used to quantify torque, which is the rotational force applied to an object. It is defined as the amount of force, measured in Newtons, applied at a distance, measured in meters, from a pivot point. For example, if a force of one Newton is applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot, it creates a torque of one Newton-Meter. This unit is commonly used in various fields, including engineering and physics, to describe the effectiveness of tools and machinery. Understanding Newton-Meters helps in designing systems that require precise control of rotational forces, such as engines and mechanical devices.
