Kilogram meter (kgm) to Newton meter (Nm)

How to converter kilogram meter (kgm) to Newton meter (Nm)?

To convert from kilogram meter(kgm) to Newton meter(Nm), we can use the formula: 1 kgm = 9.81 Nm
The conversion factor here is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s²). This means that 1-kilogram meter is equivalent to 9.81 Newton meters. So, to convert from kilogram meters to Newton meters, you simply multiply the value kilogrammeters by 9.81.

Example,we have 5(kgm), the conversion would be: 5kgm * 9.81 Nm/kgm = 49.05 Nm

Keep in mind that this conversion assumes that the kilogram meter is being used to represent a torque or moment of force, where the gravitational acceleration is relevant. If you are dealing with a different context, the conversion factor might vary.

What is kilogram meter (kgm or kg·m)

The kilogram meter(kgm or kg·m)is a unit of measurement for torque or moment of force. Torque is therotational force applied to an object, so it rotates around an axis. Its the product of force and the distance from the axis of rotation at which a force is applied. In the International System of Units(SI), the standard unit for torque is the Newton meter(N·m). However, the kilogram meter(kgm)is sometimes used colloquially or in older contexts. when a force of one kilogram-force(kgf)is applied at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation It represents the torque produced. Note that the kilogram-force(kgf)is a non-SI unit of force, and its use has been discouraged in favor of the newton (N), which is the SI unit of force.

What is Newton meter (Nm)?

The Newton meter (Nm) is the standard unit of measurement for torque or moment of force in the International System of Units (SI). Torque is the rotational force applied to an object, causing to rotate around an axis. when a force of one newton(N)is applied at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotationThe Newton meter is used to quantify the amount of torque produced Mathematically, torque(τ)can be calculated as the product of force(F)and the distance(r)at which the force is applied from the axis of rotation:

Torque(τ)= Force(F) × Distance(r)

In this equation, if the force is in newtons(N)and the distance is in meters(m), then the torque will be in newton meters(Nm).
