What units does the moment converter support?

Newton-meters, foot-pounds, inch-pounds, kilogram-force-meters, and dyne-centimeters.

What's the difference between force and pressure?

Force (newtons) is a push or pull. Pressure (pascals) is force per unit area. Same force over smaller area = higher pressure.

Why do we need different force units?

Newtons are SI standard. Pounds-force connects to everyday weight. Dynes (CGS) are used in some scientific fields. Each suits different applications.
