Foot Pound-Force/second
The foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of work done or energy transferred, where one foot pound-force is the work done when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force per second has been used historically in engineering and physics, especially in the United States, as a practical unit of power in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the foot pound-force per second is primarily used in certain engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for expressing power in systems where imperial units are standard, though it is less common with the global shift towards SI units.
Pound-Foot/hour
Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds per hour, commonly used in engineering to measure power output or consumption.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per hour originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify power in mechanical and engineering contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in certain industries.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per hour is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for measuring power in systems where imperial units are standard. It is also used in historical data and legacy systems.
