The Joule. This is the product of Force (in Newtons) and Distance (in meters)

Energy is usually measured in terms of heat, which is measured in calories or joules

The SI unit of energy is the Joule. In the ft lb system it is ft.lbforce. 1 ftlbf = 1.356 joule. Thermal energy is measured in calories, 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules, it can also be in BTU, 1 BTU = 1055 Joules
