Pound-Force Foot
The pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one foot from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The pound-force foot originated from the Imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify torque in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the pound-force foot is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, to measure torque in automotive, mechanical, and structural applications, although the SI unit newton meter is more common internationally.
Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
