Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
Pound-Foot/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
