What are Pound-force-foot and Kilowatt-second

Definition of Pound-force-foot

A Pound-force Foot (lbf-ft) is a unit of work or energy in the Engineering and Gravitational Systems in United States customary and imperial units of measure. It represents the work done by a force of one pound-force acting through a displacement of one foot. The direction of force must be in the direction of displacement to calculate the work done.

Definition of Kilowatt-second

A Kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power expended for one second of time. This unit is a combination of power and time dimensions, which represents the work done or energy converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for a duration of one second.
