What are Gigajoule and Pound-force Foot

Definition of Gigajoule

A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one billion joules, a standard unit of energy. The Gigajoule is commonly used in scientific and industrial contexts to measure large quantities of energy, such as in electricity generation or the energy content of fuels.

Definition of Pound-force Foot

A Pound-force Foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque in the Imperial system of measurement. It represents the torque created by one pound of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. This unit is commonly utilized in mechanical and engineering applications to quantify rotational forces.
