Scientifically, the snapshot of a power P about point O as appeared in Fig 1.3,

The unit of minute relies on the units of power and opposite separation. On the off chance that the power is in newtons and the opposite separation in meters, at that point the unit of a minute will be Newton-meter (quickly composed as N-m).
