Unit ft lbf
Name foot-pound force
Category Energy
Details Foot-pound force (ft lbf) is a unit of energy used in the field of mechanics, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom. It is defined as the amount of energy transferred or work done when a force of one pound is applied through a distance of one foot along the direction of the force. The term "foot-pound force" emphasizes that this unit is a measure of both force (in pounds) and distance (in feet).

In the context of energy, foot-pound force is used to quantify the amount of energy required to perform work or the energy an object possesses due to its motion or position. For example, lifting a heavy object, accelerating a vehicle, or winding a watch are processes involving the transfer of energy, and their energy consumption can be expressed in foot-pounds force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the unit for energy is the joule (J). To convert foot-pounds force to joules, use the following conversion factor: 1 ft lbf ≈ 1.356 J.
