BTW I think a newton or N in this chart is = to one kilo or 2.2 pounds.
A meter of course is 3.28 feet so to convert to foot pounds
multiply N-Meters  by 2.2 and  divide by 3.28 to get foot pounds.
At least I think this is the proper conversion!

F = mg
in english units, lbs. = slugs * 32ft/sec^2
in metric, N = kg * 9.8m/sec^2

1 kg force = 2.2 lbs = 9.8 Newtons

Thanks Perry. Please convert 600 N-Meters to ft pounds for me.
Newtons came along well after my time in school :-)
