What are Gigajoule and Poundal-foot

Definition of Gigajoule

A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one billion joules. It's commonly used to measure larger quantities of energy, such as the output of power plants or the energy content in fuel. The prefix 'giga' denotes a factor of a billion (10^9).

Definition of Poundal-foot

A Poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, which is an alternative to the more common SI unit system. It represents the work done by a force of one poundal acting over a distance of one foot. In this system, a poundal is a unit of force.
