What are Foot-pound and Gigawatt-hour

Definition of Foot-pound

A foot-pound (ft·lb) is a unit of energy or work in the imperial and United States customary systems. It is the energy transferred upon applying a force of one pound-force through a displacement of one foot. In physical terms, it represents the amount of work done by a one-pound force acting along a one-foot distance.

Definition of Gigawatt-hour

A gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion (10^9) watt-hours. It is commonly used in the context of electricity generation and consumption to measure large-scale energy production and usage. One GWh can power roughly 700,000 homes for an hour, showcasing its significance in the energy sector.
