What are Foot and Joule

Definition of Foot

A 'foot' is a unit of length in the customary system of measurement primarily used in the United States. It is equivalent to 12 inches and 1/3 of a yard. Historically, the length of a foot was based on the average length of a human foot, which is why it carries its name. The foot has diversified applications, ranging from construction to everyday measurements. Although the metric system is widely adopted worldwide, the foot remains a significant unit in many regions, especially in real estate and aviation, where it is used to measure altitude.

Definition of Joule

A 'joule' is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule, who studied the nature of heat and its relationship to mechanical work. One joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. Joules are widely used to express energy, work, and heat in scientific and engineering contexts. They serve as a standard measurement unit in various fields, including physics, chemistry, and electricity, to quantify the transfer and transformation of energy.
