What are Inch-pound and Pound-force inch

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque representing the force applied at a one-inch distance from the pivot point. It’s commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify rotational force. The inch-pound is a part of the imperial and United States customary units system, and it speaks to the effort required to rotate an object around an axis or fulcrum.

Definition of Pound-force inch

A pound-force inch (lbf-in) is a unit of torque in the imperial and United States customary measurement systems. It is defined as the torque created by one pound-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one inch from a pivot point. This measurement is crucial in applications where understanding the rotational force is necessary for the design and function of mechanical systems.
