What are Foot and Kilocalorie

Definition of Foot

A foot is a unit of length in the customary system of measurement used primarily in the United States. It is defined as 12 inches and is equal to 0.3048 meters in the International System of Units (SI). Historically, the foot has been based on the average length of a human foot, which varied across different cultures and periods. Over time, standardization became necessary, leading to the current definition. The foot is widely used in real estate, construction, and aviation industries, among others, to measure length, height, and distance.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a Calorie (with an uppercase 'C'), is a unit of energy. It is commonly used to express the energy content in food and is equivalent to 1,000 small calories (cal). In scientific terms, a kilocalorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Nutritionists and dietitians use kilocalories to calculate the energy intake from food and beverages, helping individuals manage their diets effectively. It plays a crucial role in understanding energy balance and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Conversion of Foot to Kilocalorie

1 ft lb/min/ft² = 0.071 kcal/h/ft²
1 kcal/h/ft² = 14.1 ft lb/min/ft²

Example 1:
convert 5 ft lb/min/ft² to kcal/h/ft²:
5 ft lb/min/ft² = 5 × 0.071 kcal/h/ft² = 0.355 kcal/h/ft²

Example 2:
convert 10 ft lb/min/ft² to kcal/h/ft²:
10 ft lb/min/ft² = 10 × 0.071 kcal/h/ft² = 0.71 kcal/h/ft²

History of Foot and Kilocalorie

The conversion between Foot Pound/minute/square Foot and Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square Foot stems from the need to compare energy transfer rates in different units. Initially, these conversions were primarily used in physics and engineering to understand and compute energy efficiency in various systems.
