Best Answer

A newton metre is the SI unit for torque, symbol Nm, and is also technically equivalent to the joule.

A newton meter is a term sometimes used to reference a spring scale, which uses a spring and Hooke's law to measure the force exerted in a linear direction. For purposes of avoiding confusion, using the term 'spring scale' is better.
