What are Foot and Erg

The foot is a unit of length in the customary system of measurement primarily used in the United States. It is equivalent to 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. Historically, the foot originated from the length of a human foot, which varied in the ancient times. The Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians used different definitions of the foot, but it generally remained around the modern length. Today, the foot is widely used in various applications such as construction, aviation, and real estate, offering a convenient measure for everyday use where metric measurement is not prevalent.

The erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne acting over a distance of one centimeter. One erg is equivalent to 10^-7 joules. The term originates from the Greek word 'ergon,' meaning work, and it was introduced as a coherent unit in the late 19th century. Although largely replaced by the joule in most scientific contexts today, the erg remains a useful unit in certain fields of physics and engineering, particularly in older literature and specific applications like astrophysics.
