What are Joule and Pound-foot

Definition of Joule

A Joule is the SI unit of energy, defined as the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter in the direction of the force applied. It quantifies energy, work, or heat and is named after the physicist James Prescott Joule. In practical terms, it's also the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton moves that object one meter. Joules are used universally in various scientific and engineering contexts to measure energy and work.

Definition of Pound-foot

A Pound-foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque representing the moment of force exerted by one pound-force acting perpendicularly at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. It is essential in measuring rotational forces in mechanical systems. This unit helps in calculating the torque required to turn an object around an axis, and it’s widely used in the automotive and machinery industries. The pound-foot ensures precise control of torque values, crucial for the efficiency and safety of mechanical operations.

Conversion of Joule to Pound-foot

1 J/h = 2.655 lbf·ft/h
1 lbf·ft/h = 0.376 J/h

Example 1:
Convert 10 J/h to lbf·ft/h:
10 J/h = 10 × 2.655 lbf·ft/h = 26.55 lbf·ft/h

Example 2:
Convert 5 J/h to lbf·ft/h:
5 J/h = 5 × 2.655 lbf·ft/h = 13.275 lbf·ft/h
