What are Foot-pound and Hartree

A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the engineering and gravitational systems. It is the amount of energy expended when a force of one pound-force is applied over a displacement of one foot. In more technical terms, it is the work done by a force of one pound-force acting through a displacement of one foot along the direction of the force.

The Hartree (E_h) is a unit of energy used in the field of atomic physics, specifically quantum chemistry. It is defined as the kinetic energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state or the potential energy between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom. The Hartree is a natural unit that simplifies many physical equations and is commonly used in calculations involving the energy of electrons in atoms or molecules.

History of Foot-pound and Hartree

The concept of converting foot-pounds to Hartrees stems from the need to bridge classical mechanics and quantum physics. While foot-pounds have been used since the 1800s in engineering, Hartrees were introduced in the 20th century as atomic units for quantifying energy at the quantum level, facilitating the comparison and conversion between macro and micro-scale energy measurements.
