What are Watt-second and Pound-force-foot

Definition of Watt-second

A Watt-second (Ws) is the unit of energy equivalent to the amount of work done by a one-watt power source for one second. It is a measure of energy transfer and represents a small unit of energy in the International System of Units. Energy and work are closely related, as energy is the capacity to do work, and the Watt-second quantifies this relation over a specific time frame.

Definition of Pound-force-foot

A Pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque within the imperial system of units. It represents the torque or rotational force generated when a one-pound force is applied to a one-foot lever arm at a right angle. Torque is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. In essence, it's a measure of rotational force.
