Unit Definitions

What is a Joule (J)?

Metric (SI)Worldwide

A Joule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the energy transferred when one newton of force is applied over one meter.

History

The Joule is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule, who studied the relationship between heat and mechanical work in the 19th century. His experiments laid the groundwork for the law of conservation of energy.

Current Use

Today, the Joule is widely used in various scientific and engineering fields to measure energy, work, and heat.

What is a Inch-Pound (in·lb)?

ImperialUnited States

An Inch-Pound is a unit of torque or energy, defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one pound is applied over a distance of one inch.

History

The Inch-Pound has been used in the United States for many years, particularly in mechanical engineering and construction. It is a practical unit that simplifies calculations involving small distances and forces.

Current Use

Currently, the Inch-Pound is commonly used in mechanical applications, including the specification of torque for bolts and screws.
