Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
Pound-Foot/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
