Convert newton meter to watt-second
Please provide values below to convert newton meter [N*m] to watt-second [W*s], or Convert watt-second to newton meter.
How to Convert Newton Meter to Watt-Second
1 N*m = 1 W*s
Example: convert 15 N*m to W*s:
15 N*m = 15 × 1 W*s = 15 W*s

Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
Watt-Second
A watt-second (W·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one joule, representing the amount of energy transferred or converted when one watt of power is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The watt-second originated from the SI system of units, where the watt (W) is the SI derived unit of power, and the second (s) is the SI base unit of time. It has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where energy transfer occurs over short durations.
Current Use
The watt-second is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, such as in electrical and mechanical systems. It is often replaced by the joule in modern applications but remains a recognized unit within the energy converter category.
