Discover the simplicity of transforming energy measurements from calories (th) to foot-pounds (ft-lb) with our Calorie th to Foot-pound Converter, designed for accuracy and ease.
A calorie with the symbol 'th' represents a 'thermochemical calorie', a unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.
Definition of Foot-poundA foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Engineering and Gravitational Systems in United States customary and imperial units of measure. It represents the work done by a one-pound force acting through a displacement of one foot in the direction of the force.
| Calorie th | Foot-pound (ft-lb) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal th | 3.086 ft-lb |
| 2 cal th | 6.172 ft-lb |
| 3 cal th | 9.258 ft-lb |
| 4 cal th | 12.344 ft-lb |
| 5 cal th | 15.430 ft-lb |
| 6 cal th | 18.516 ft-lb |
| 7 cal th | 21.602 ft-lb |
| 8 cal th | 24.688 ft-lb |
| 9 cal th | 27.774 ft-lb |
| 10 cal th | 30.860 ft-lb |
Example 1:
Convert 10 cal th to ft-lb:
10 cal th = 10 × 3.086 ft-lb = 30.86 ft-lb
Example 2:
Convert 25 cal th to ft-lb:
25 cal th = 25 × 3.086 ft-lb = 77.15 ft-lb
The Calorie th to Foot-pound Converter has a history rooted in the transition from food energy measurements to mechanical energy applications. It enables the comparison and conversion of energy in a dietary context (calories) to mechanical work (foot-pounds).
Understanding the practicality of the Calorie th to Foot-pound Converter can unveil its significance in various fields and everyday applications.
Example 1:
Convert 50 cal th to ft-lb:
50 cal th = 154.3 ft-lb
Example 2:
Convert 100 cal th to ft-lb:
100 cal th = 308.6 ft-lb
It's a tool that converts energy from thermochemical calories to foot-pounds.
This conversion is useful for understanding energy content in mechanical terms.
No, it's a simple process that requires just a few clicks.
