What are Joule and Foot

Definition of Joule

A Joule, symbolized as 'J', is the SI unit of energy. It is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist who studied the nature of heat and its relationship to mechanical work. One Joule is defined as the energy expended when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. It is equivalent to one watt-second or the kinetic energy of a one-kilogram mass moving at a velocity of one meter per second. Joules are used extensively in physics and engineering to quantify energy, work, or heat.

Definition of Foot

The foot, symbolized 'ft', is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Historically, it was based on the length of the human foot, with varying definitions. Today, one foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. It is divided into 12 inches. The foot is widely used in the United States for many everyday measurements, including height, distance, and lengths of rooms or objects. It remains a popular unit despite most countries adopting the metric system.
