## What is Torque Conversion?

Torque conversion involves converting rotational force measurements between different units. Torque, also called moment of force, measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis. It is essential in automotive engineering, mechanical design, and construction. Our torque converter handles all common units used in engineering and everyday applications.

// Common Torque Units Explained

export const Newton Meter (N·m)

// The SI unit of torque. One newton meter is the torque from a force of 1 newton applied at a perpendicular distance of 1 meter from the rotation axis.

export const Pound-force Foot (lbf·ft)

// Common in the US automotive industry. Car engine specifications often list torque in pound-feet.

export const Kilogram-force Meter (kgf·m)

// Used in some engineering contexts. Equal to approximately 9.81 N·m.

## Frequently Asked Questions

01 ### Q: What is the difference between torque and horsepower?

/**

Torque measures rotational force, while horsepower measures the rate of doing work. Power = Torque × Angular Velocity. Both are important for engine performance.

*/

02 ### Q: Why are torque specifications important for bolts?

/**

Proper torque ensures bolts are tight enough to hold securely but not so tight that they strip threads or damage components. Critical in automotive and aerospace applications.
