The unit of energy is as well termed as a Joule. Whenever a force of 1 Newton is exerted on an object for a distance of 1 meter, then 1 Joule of energy is utilized. It is the outcome of a vector computation including the meter and the Newton.

It is a unit of torque (that is, turning force). Whenever a force of 1 Newton is exerted at a distance of 1 meter from pivot at right angle to the radius then the torque of 1 Newton Meter is present. This is the metric equivalent of the lb ft.
