About Units

Joules: Joules (J) are a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. They are defined as the energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter. Named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule, this unit is widely used in various scientific and engineering fields.

Foot pounds: Foot-pounds (ft·lbf) are a unit of work or energy in the British Imperial and US customary systems. One foot-pound is the amount of energy expended when a one-pound force is applied over a distance of one foot. This unit is often used in engineering and mechanical contexts to describe torque and work.
