Poundal Foot
The poundal foot (pdl*ft) is a unit of energy representing the work done when a force of one poundal acts over a distance of one foot.
History/Origin
The poundal foot originated in the foot-poundal system of units, which was used primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
The poundal foot is rarely used today and has been largely replaced by the joule in scientific and engineering contexts. It may still appear in historical references or specialized fields dealing with imperial units.
Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
