quick torque question.

[The Ben]

how do you convert Nm torque into lbs/ft of torque. Say for instance. What im trying to work out is 560 Nm to LBS/ft.

Thanking you in advance

Doesn't have the full units you are looking at, so you'd have tp convert lb's to kg (and then to N) and ft to m seperately.

Even better

560Nm is about 420 lb ft. Three quarters is good enough for the back of the envelope.

For kW to hp it's the other way up - four thirds.

Cheers guys, the reason I ask is my dad has an E270 CDI he thinks its the fastest car in the world (not really, more banter, he is a merc man im Beemer) and he got destroyed on the roads today by a 535d touring... he just wondered what torque the car had and the I just found a website stating it had 560NM of troque.... pretty impressive!!!


NOTE: this shouldnt spark the whole remapped 535 debate again

Google is your friend for conversions. e.g. Google this:
