Newton meter
A newton meter equals the work done by one newton through one meter.
History: It follows directly from SI force and length units.
Current use: Newton meters are used for work, torque-related references, and engineering calculations.
Also written as N m, Nm, newton-meter, newton meters, newton-metres.
Joule
A joule is the work done by a force of one newton through one meter.
History: It is named after James Prescott Joule.
Current use: Joules are used in physics, engineering, and energy calculations.
Also written as J, joules.
