What are Pound-force Inch and Watt-second

A pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque, which is a measure of the rotational force applied at a distance from the pivot point. It combines the linear force measurement of pounds-force (lbf) with the distance in inches (in) from the axis of rotation. Essentially, it quantifies how much rotational power is being applied to turn an object around a central point.

A watt-second (W·s) is a unit of energy, representing the work done or energy transferred when one watt of power is expended for one second. It is a composite unit derived from the watt, a measure of power in the International System of Units (SI), and the second, the SI unit of time. One watt-second equals the energy released or consumed by a one-watt device running for one second.
