What are Inch-ounce and Pound-force Inch

An Inch-ounce (in-oz) is a unit of torque representing the force of one ounce acting on the end of a lever (or radius) one inch long. It is used in fields like engineering and physics to measure rotational force or the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. The Inch-ounce is a crucial unit for precision mechanics where fine adjustments are necessary.

A Pound-force Inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It represents the rotational force generated by one pound-force acting at a radius of one inch from the pivot point. This unit is commonly used in various applications like automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery where accurate torque measurements are essential.
