How this system works
Torque has the same dimensions as energy but is not energy: it is a moment. SI uses newton-metres; US mechanics still think in pound-feet (and sometimes pound-inches). Never confuse N·m with joules in a torque context.
Base unit: newton-metre. Newton-metre is SI; Pound-foot is US customary.
