Nm and ft/lbs

[JP53]

Can anyone tell me how to convert 240Nm into ft/lbs please? Thankyou John.

To convert N.m. to ft lb multiple N.m. by a factor of (0.737)
For example: 55Nm = 55 x 0.737 = (40.535 ft lb)


Therefore 240Nm = 176.88ft/lbs

Hope this helps

You could also convert it to toes/bucket by adding 72 and dividing by ½ the length of a shoestring.

When are you Britt's going to go Metric? :lol:

and dont'cha just wish they'd all drive on the correct side of the road. Everything would be miles better then :D

Never, as far as I am concerned, anything metric gets converted to proper understandable measurements in my head. :D

[JP53]

Bring back proper money too, what was wrong with 2/- 6d?

[GreyGhost]

10 bob notes that's proper money, none of the P nonsense, we all know what a P is don't wee. :)

First off I am 33 years old...........


Call me a child of the future but I have never got olde worlde measures.... why use inch and 4/32 instead of say 60mm.
I realise It's just me thick but I have never got my head round it, (and I was a mechanic for years on land rovers and lorrys which were all AF) All I could do was 1/2"=13mm 11/16=17mm

I really do wish someone could teach me (not joking):(

Sorry mate 33 years old, too long in the tooth now, funnily enough my great nephew 11 years, understands feet and inches but not metres and centimetres. Go figure :)

Joking aside now the metric way makes more sense than imperial and is easier to learn. The problem I have is that I went to school when it was all changing. I understand MPG, MPH, Gallons, Pints, Pounds and Ounces alot better than their metric equivalent. Feet and Inches too but I prefer to measure things out using Cm's because it's far easier to divide by 10.

Having only ten fingers and thumbs makes metric a lot easier to deal with. For those of us with twelve the older systems are more appropriate.

Bring back proper money too, what was wrong with 2/- 6d?

And then we called it Half a Crown to totally confuse the French !!!

New question.
Why was shilling always a shilling and rarely if ever a bob, whereas any higher numbers of shillings were always bobs but described as bob singular, 2 bob, 3 bob etc up to 19 then a break to 22 bob I presume because a quid or nicker and guinea were more useful, and onward to 59 bob but AFAIR no higher. Excluding 40/- as this was 2 quid (singular) or nicker (singular).

I hope all you youngsters are taking notes, I'll be asking questions later :D

Oooo I'm fair worn out now, need a lie down. Thinking is very hard work :D

Even better question, we had half a crown but when did anyone have a crown?

5 bob bits were a little before my time. I'm not that old, "yet" :rofl:

That reminds me I missed out 2 bob bits in my last post.

[Roverron]

We are still waiting for the rest of Europe to change to imperial :laughing2:


I bet if the Yanks went fully metric, Kph, litres etc, EL Presidente Blairos would have us do the same....

Rememer Guineas - how much - 21shillings? ie £1 1shilling?

[NOCTURNAL]

You wouldn't use 4/32 :rolleyes: you'd use an 1/8, but for 60 mm it would be 2" 11/32 or 2"3/8 :D

personally I use inches or cm depnding what ever the nearest easily recogniseable number is...ie, both together:eek:

also use miles and gallons for obvious reasons, but never have used weights in pounds and ounces??? stones for people weight for sure, but never imperial smaller weights...


On a side note, I heard the other day that Europe are trying to ban the manufacture of imperial spanners and tools now :mad:

so if the imperial sizes are needed, you will just ahve to learn that a 2" spanner will now be a 50.8mm spanner,,,, crazy....
just leave well alone I say...

Hmm you people belong in a museum:D

Let me give you a few examples of the benefits of the metric system:

1 meter = 100 cm = 1000 millimeters
1 sqm = 10000 sqcm
1 cbm = 1 metric ton of water or 1000 kg
1 liter water = 1 kg or 1000 grams
10 meter of water (depth) = 1 atmosphere (pressure) or 1 kg/sqcm

Now someone give me the same in the Imperial system:youmug:
(I knew we Danes shouldn't have left England so soon)

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches
1 sqft = 12 sqin
1 cyd = a lot of water
1 gallon of fuel = the correct way to measure it
10 leagues of water (also depth) = You had better be in a submarine

Just remember Stamford bridge! :unlucky:

Well let's see then
How about. Rods, Perches and Poles. They'll never work those out :) Fishing or canal boating?

4840 sq. yards = 1 acre
640 acres = 1 square mile

What could be simpler? :)

Easy
1 inch, as most Englishmen can visualise 6 of these and multiply by 2 = Foot
Foot the average length of said item
Yard a large pace ie. 50 paces 50 yards, uncomfortable to pace metres
Acre the area a man with horse drawn plough can cultivate in 1 day
Chain The length of a cricket pitch, how do they measure in Denmark?
Pint sensible size for a beer glass, especially when full as in England only.
Gallon 8 pints, when drinking beer the point at which you wish you had not drunk the other 7.

re driving on the left, I understand Napoleon invented driving on the right.
we invented driving on the left so that if you met an enemy coming the other way you could defend yourself by having your sword in the hand facing the enemy.
Napoleon met us twice on the road and cut himself badly.
Re. time the whole worlds time system is based on Greenwich otherwise days would be 100 hours and we would have to work a 33 hour day. I wouldnt like that.
PS Danish beer is not better, its colder !! Dave:p:

The answer (rounded to the nearest inch) is 18,782,612,515,216,446 inches.
