  2. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    Energy is defined via work, so the SI unit of energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honour of James Prescott Joule [1] and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units

  3. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    In terms of SI base units, one joule corresponds to one kilogram-square metre per square second (1 J = 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2). One joule is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a body through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force.

  4. Newton-metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-metre

    The newton-metre or newton-meter (also non-hyphenated, newton metre or newton meter; symbol N⋅m [1] or N m [1]) [a] is the unit of torque (also called moment) in the International System of Units (SI). One newton-metre is equal to the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to the end of a moment arm that is one ...

  6. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    Torque has the dimension of force times distance, symbolically T −2 L 2 M and those fundamental dimensions are the same as that for energy or work. Official SI literature indicates newton-metre, is properly denoted N⋅m, as the unit for torque; although this is dimensionally equivalent to the joule, which is not used for torque.

    The work done when a force of one newton moves the point of its application a distance of one metre in the direction of the force. [ 32 ] = 1 J = 1 m⋅N = 1 kg⋅m 2 /s 2 = 1 C⋅V = 1 W⋅s

    The unit is dimensionally equivalent to the units of energy, the joule; but the joule should not be used as an alternative for the newton metre.
