Newton metre is the unit of moment in the SI system. It is abbreviated N m or N·m, and sometimes hyphenated newton-metre. It is a compound unit of torque corresponding to the torque from a force of one newton applied over a distance arm of one metre.
While a newton metre is dimensionally equivalent to a joule, the SI unit of energy and work, in a newton metre, the force and the distance arm are normal to each other, while in the joule, force and distance are co-linear.
