Spanish term or phrase: aplique un torque de 9.7 a 10.7 m.dan (71.53 a 78.90 Ib ft) segun manual X
Taken from an engineering report. My main question here is what does "dan" refer to. Is it connected to the m as written in original or is it simply from "dar". I'd appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks

apply a torque of 9.7 to 10.7 m.daN (71.53 a 78.90 Ib ft)
Explanation:
A torque is expressed as the product of a force and a distance.

In this case you have the equivalence of MKS and English units.
In the first case you have distance in meters (m) and force in decaNewtons (daN). In the second case it is pounds (lb) and feet (ft). A decaNewton, or 10 Newtons, is about a Kilogram of force in the technical system.
