Discover the simplicity of converting kcal to ft·lbf using our Kilocalorie IT to Foot-pound Converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool sparks curiosity and invites you to explore energy unit conversions with ease.
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 at a pressure of one atmosphere. It's a widely used energy unit in nutrition to indicate the energy content of food.
Definition of Foot-poundThe foot-pound (ft·lbf) is a unit of work or energy in the engineering and gravitational systems in the United States customary and imperial units of measure. It represents the energy transferred upon applying a one-pound force through a displacement of one foot.
