How to Convert Joules to Newton-Meters
A joule is the SI unit of energy, defined as the work done when a force of 1 newton is applied over a distance of 1 meter. This is exactly what a newton-meter represents, as it’s the product of force (newtons) and distance (meters). Thus, 1 J = 1 N·m
Formula
Quick Trick: 1 Joule equals 1 Newton-meter
Let’s Solve One Together
Imagine you have an energy measurement:
- Energy measured: 10 joules
Here’s how we figure it out:
1. Take our formula: N·m = J
2. Put in 10 joules
3. N·m = 10
Answer: 10 N·m
Definitions of Key Terms
Newton-Meter (N·m)
A Newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque and work. It represents the work done when a force of one Newton acts over a distance of one meter in the direction of the force. This unit is fundamental in mechanical engineering and physics calculations, particularly when dealing with rotational forces and mechanical work.
Joule (J)
The joule is the standard SI unit of energy and work. One joule equals the amount of energy transferred when applying a force of one newton through a distance of one meter. It is widely used in scientific calculations and practical applications across various fields of physics and engineering.
