A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Engineering and Gravitational Systems of Units. It is the amount of energy transferred or work done when a force of one pound-force is applied over a linear displacement of one foot.
Definition of PoundalA poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. One poundal is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
