How were the conversions derived for: N-m, ft-lb? If ft-lb is just the length (ft) multiply force (lbs), and N-m is length (m) multiply force (N), how did the conversion 1 ft-lb = 1.356 N come about?

Can a spring balance be in "lbs"? Torque = F x r How would I calculate the Torque in the case that the force applied to the lever is perpendicular to the direction of gravity? e.g. force applied to a door Is it correct if I multiply the lbs to just the length? Thank you for your help.

Hello, How can I measure how much torque I'm exerting on a lever? Can it be done with a torque wrench? Or do I need ? Thanks
