Newton meters (Nm) are a unit of torque. The equivalent English unit for torque is foot-pounds (ft-lb).

Here's how the units relate:

* 1 Nm = 0.737562146 ft-lb

* 1 ft-lb = 1.35581795 Nm

It's important to note that while both units represent torque, they use different units for distance and force:

* Newton-meters (Nm):

* Newton (N): Unit of force.

* Meter (m): Unit of distance.

* Foot-pounds (ft-lb):

* Foot (ft): Unit of distance.

* Pound (lb): Unit of force.
