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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
