Convert Megajoule to Foot-pound
1 megajoule = 737,562.1 foot-pound (ft·lbf). For example, 10 megajoule = 7,375,621 foot-pound and 100 megajoule = 73,756,210 foot-pound. Type any value below to convert megajoule to foot-pound both ways — it runs entirely in your browser.
Torque vs energy: Foot-pound (ft·lbf) is used both as a unit of ENERGY — where 1 N·m = 1 joule exactly — and as a unit of TORQUE (a twisting force × distance). This page converts the ENERGY meaning, so the figures above are correct for work and heat. A newton-metre of torque is a different physical quantity and does NOT convert into joules, kilowatt-hours or calories.
Megajoule to Foot-pound conversion formula
To convert megajoule to foot-pound, multiply by 737,562.1:
foot-pound = megajoule × 737,562.1
Going the other way, 1 foot-pound = 0.000001355818 megajoule, so
megajoule = foot-pound × 0.000001355818.

About megajoule and foot-pound
Megajoule: A megajoule is 1,000,000 joules (1,000 kJ) — used for larger energy quantities such as the energy content of fuels.
Foot-pound: A foot-pound is the energy of one pound-force acting over one foot — about 1.3558 joules. The same number (as the pound-foot, lbf·ft) is also the common US unit of TORQUE.
