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.
Foot Pound-Force/second
The foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of work done or energy transferred, where one foot pound-force is the work done when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force per second has been used historically in engineering and physics, especially in the United States, as a practical unit of power in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the foot pound-force per second is primarily used in certain engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for expressing power in systems where imperial units are standard, though it is less common with the global shift towards SI units.
