Torque, also known as the moment of force or the rotational force, may be measured in both newton meters (abbreviated as Nm) and foot-pounds (abbreviated as ft-lbs). Both of these units are denoted by their respective abbreviations. Torque is the ability of an object to spin in reaction to the application of a force, and the term is used to describe the capacity of an object.

Imagine a piece of apparatus, like a lever, that only has one fixed position and the rest of it is free to move. From this point forward, we are going to refer to that fixed point as the pivot point. After being moved, the object will spin around the pivot point if you start by pulling or pushing the lever in a straight line. When you apply the force farther away from the pivot point, the resultant rotation will be larger than when you apply the force closer to the pivot point.

The formula for converting newton meters to feet-pounds may be found at https://mycalcu.com/ This conversion is a rather straightforward operation. However, the computation may also be done by hand, and it is not very difficult to do so. To make things easier to understand, simply bear in mind that one Newton-meter is equal to 0.7376 foot-pounds. This should help put things in perspective.
