you have: Nm
you want Lb ft
	*7.37562149e-01
	/1.355817948e+00

Newtons measure force, Lb and kg are a measure of mass.  If you want to 
 use an imperial unit to measure force, then you would probably use the 
 unit poundsforce.

A mass of 1kg at sealevel exerts 9.80665N due to gravity.

Here concludeth the lesson!
