What are Foot and Pound-force

Definition of Foot

A foot is a unit of length in various systems, including Imperial units and U.S. customary units. It is defined as 12 inches and is equivalent to 0.3048 meters. Historically, the length of a foot varied from region to region, but it became standardized in the 20th century. This unit is widely used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for measuring shorter distances, heights, and lengths of objects. The term 'foot' historically derives from the average length of a human foot.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and is part of the Imperial and U.S. customary systems. It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass at the surface of the Earth. One pound-force is equivalent to 4.44822 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). This unit is typically used to specify the amount of force applied in mechanical contexts, such as in engineering and physics, providing a practical measure for everyday applications.
