What are Pound-force-foot and Watt-hour

A pound-force foot (lbf-ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It represents the work done by a force of one pound-force acting through a displacement of one foot. In physical terms, it's the energy transferred when a one-pound force is applied over a linear displacement of one foot.

A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. It signifies the amount of energy one watt can do over an hour, and is commonly used to measure electricity consumption by electrical devices and for billing purposes by energy companies.
