What are Erg and Poundal-foot

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It's defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the scientific community, the erg is utilized to measure small quantities of energy, especially in the fields of physics and astronomy.

A poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-poundal system, which is a subset of the English Engineering Units. It is the amount of work done when a force of one poundal is exerted over a distance of one foot. The poundal-foot is less commonly used today but can be found in certain engineering and scientific contexts.

History of Erg and Poundal-foot

The Erg to Poundal Foot Converter is rooted in the transition from the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) to the English Engineering Units of measurement. Historically, this tool reflects the evolution of scientific understanding and the need for diverse measurement systems in various fields of physics and engineering.
