Foot-pound
Definition
The foot-pound is a unit of work or energy in the imperial and US customary systems of measurements. It is defined as the amount of energy transferred when one pound-force is applied over a linear displacement of one foot.
Origin
The foot-pound is an English Engineering unit that is part of the British Gravitational system. It was part of their old foot-pound-second system, which uses feet for length, avoirdupois pound for mass or force, and seconds for time.
Current use
The foot-pound can be used in countries that have not adopted the International System of Units (SI). The United States is one of the largest countries where this unit is still used in certain applications, though most scientific contexts will use the joule instead.
Newton-meter
Definition
The newton-meter is sometimes used as a unit of work or energy and in this context is equal to the joule, the SI unit of energy. In this use, it is defined as the energy transferred to an object by a one newton force acting on that object in the direction of its motion over a distance of one meter.
Origin
The newton-meter is a unit of work and energy. It got its name because the joule, which is an SI unit of energy, has the same dimensions as the newton-meter.
Current use
The newton-meter is used most often as a measurement of torque, rather than work or energy. As such, the use of the newton-meter as a unit of work or energy is discouraged to avoid confusing it with torque.
