What are Pound-force-inch and Kilowatt-second

A Pound-force Inch is a unit of torque representing the force of one pound-force applied at the end of a lever arm that is one inch long. It's a measurement used in engineering and physics to quantify rotational force, especially in the context of mechanical systems and devices. Torque is crucial in determining how much a force causes an object to rotate.

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 used to measure work or energy in the context of power generation and consumption. It's a useful measure in various fields, including electrical engineering and physics, to understand and calculate the energy transfer in systems over a short period.
