Unit Definitions
What is a Foot-Pound (ft·lb)?
A foot-pound is a unit of torque defined as the torque resulting from a force of one pound applied perpendicularly to a lever arm one foot long.
History
The foot-pound has its origins in the English system of measurement and has been used since the medieval period. It became standardized as engineering and physics developed, allowing for consistent calculations across various applications.
Current Use
Today, foot-pounds are widely used in engineering, automotive, and construction industries to specify the torque applied in mechanical systems.

A dyne centimeter is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the torque resulting from a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly to a lever arm one centimeter long.
History
The dyne centimeter originated from the CGS system, which was established in the 19th century. It became popular in physics and engineering as a way to measure small forces and torques accurately.
Current Use
Dyne centimeters are mainly used in scientific research and applications where precise measurements are necessary, particularly in fields like physics and engineering.
