A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the imperial and US customary systems. It is the energy transferred upon applying a one-pound force through a displacement of one foot. In physical terms, it's the amount of energy required to lift one pound over a one-foot distance.
Definition of NanojouleA nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth of a joule. It represents a minuscule amount of energy typically used to measure the work performed by electronic components or the energy states in physics at the nanoscale.
