Good to know

Questions people actually ask

Is a newton-metre the same as a joule?
Dimensionally yes, in meaning no. A joule is energy transferred; a newton-metre of torque is a turning effect that transfers no energy on its own. They are kept as separate quantities here so a torque figure is never converted into calories.
