kilogram-meter
Force times distance
A kilogram-meter is a unit of torque or moment of force in the metric system, representing the rotational force produced by one kilogram of weight acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot point.
Engineers and physicists use it when calculating leverage and rotational mechanics: The engine produces 50 kilogram-meters of torque.
