Foot Pound-Force/minute
The foot pound-force per minute (ft*lbf/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over one minute.
History/Origin
This unit has been used primarily in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in the United States, where imperial units are common. It originated from the foot-pound-force as a measure of work, combined with time to express power.
Current Use
The foot pound-force per minute is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, for measuring power in mechanical systems, motors, and torque-related applications where imperial units are standard.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
