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.
Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
