What are Inch-pound and Kilocalorie

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque in the imperial system. It represents the torque resulting from a one-pound force applied at the end of a one-inch lever. This measurement is critical in fields that deal with rotational force, such as automotive and engineering applications. The inch-pound is a crucial unit for ensuring the correct amount of torque is applied to fasteners and components.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Commonly used in the context of food and nutrition, it indicates the energy content in food, often referred to simply as 'calories'. Kilocalories are also used in physical sciences and engineering as a unit of energy or heat, especially in heat transfer and thermodynamics.
