Best Answer

Sir Isaac newton created the Newton Meter basically. He made the measurement and the mathematics behind it, but didn't create name or publish it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The newon.metre is a unit of torque in the SI system. The relation with basic units is:

1 N.m = 1 kg.m2/s2

During the life of Newton the SI had not been invented.

Isaac Newton did not invent the newton meter. It was invented by others, and it was

the bane of his existence. He spent many fruitless hours, while on break from his weightier

and more forceful work, trying to get rid of it.

Since Newton worked at home, the monthly visits by HRH's Joule Counters never escaped

his notice. How blithely and cavalierly they trotted their steeds around back of Newton's

humble cottage, trampling his petunias. How inconsiderately they positioned themselves as far

apart as possible in his back yard, and then, at as high a volume as humanly possible, yelled

out the numbers, as one Collector read them and the other entered them in the official record

for billing purposes ... the yelling dislodging Newton's concentration for the rest of that day and

often much of the next as well, too.

His fabled temper aroused, Newton applied his not insignificant intellectual gifts to the task

of outwitting the Joule Collectors, and the satanic instrument fixed to his home which they

came regularly to consult. Inside, he banned the use of any refrigeration, salting his food

instead when the aroma became overpowering, and parting the electrical rope from its berth

in the wall. For light, he returned to the candle and the lantern, and for heat, to the black

lumps of peat and coal, rather than the full-room baseboard heater whose use set the outside

device to spinning. With these rules in place, Newton was certain, the device would cease

its circular motion, grow cobwebs, and discourage the Collectors from any further visits.

But it was not to be. The plethora of unseen devices that fed in his home at the trough

of the unseen energy stream kept the device stuck to his home turning night and day,

as they do in ours. The clocks, cellphone chargers, night lights, instant-on entertainment

center, every one of them on when presumed off, all kept the outside device turning,

registering, counting, accumulating, indicating, totalizing, spinning the little clock-faces,

mounting up the digits that the Collectors came to ogle each month, when it was the

Newton neighborhood's turn, and they came ... to read Newton's meter.

No because the metre was not invented until the time of Napolean, that's a long long time after Isaac Newton was around.

isaac newton has invented the newton meter.the SI unit of force is newton,therefore the symbol of newton is N.

(Unfortunately, nobody wanted or needed it, so he could do nothing with it,

and had to keep it in his desk drawer, until the SI system was developed

almost 150 years later.)

The newton meter is a unit of measurement invented by Isaac Newton to measure torque. He also invented a unit of measurement called the newton (N) to measure force. Both are still used today in the SI system of measurement.

well funnily enough the newton meter was invented by issac newton. dunno why. he founded gravity so its a way of finding the amount of gravity pulling down on the object.

No he didn't. The newton unit is defined as a kilogram-meter per second squared, in the SI system of units. It was named the newton metre in his honour.

No one discovered it, it is a derived unit in the SI system of measurement.
