Re: torque unit conversion

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@domain.elided>]

Hi Group, and Russ:

Russ asked about torque unit conversions.  I've often used the URL below 
for physics classes I've taken, and it will covert just about any unit to 
any other; forces, temps, lengths, pressures, etc.:

http://www.efunda.com/units/

For torque conversions, click on "Moment/Torque" under the "Kinetics" 
heading.  There is also a Palm version that can be downloaded from the site.
