Watt-Hour
A watt-hour (W·h) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred or used when one watt of power is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was established as a practical unit of energy measurement with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and has been used in electrical and energy industries to quantify energy consumption and storage since the 20th century.
Current Use
Watt-hours are commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in household appliances, batteries, and energy storage systems, providing a convenient unit for billing, capacity ratings, and energy management.
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.
