Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque — the rotational force applied through a lever arm to turn a shaft, bolt, or rotating body.
Newton-meters specify automotive lug-nut torque, wrench settings, and motor output on machinery nameplates — the force you apply to rotate something.
The foot-pound (ft·lbf) as torque is an imperial unit — the turning effect of a one-pound-force applied one foot from the axis. Same number as energy foot-pounds but a different physical quantity.
Foot-pounds rate US socket wrench settings, automotive lug-nut torque specs, and machinery manuals in customary units.
