Imperial units of mass?

The imperial unit of mass is the "slug", equal to 14.5939029 kilograms. A 1-slug mass on the Earth's surface weighs 32.17405 pounds. A 1-slug mass will accelerate at 1 foot per second per second under the force of 1 pound.


What is the formula for calculating power from work?

They are not the same thing at all. Work is energy. Mechanical energy is force times distance. You do work when you lift something up against the force of gravity or when you increase the speed of something. Work (energy) is measured in joules in SI and foot-pounds weight in imperial units. Power is the rate of doing work, how much work is or can be done in a certain amount of time, how fast you can lift something, or how quickly it accelerates. Power is measured in joules per second (the watt) in SI and foot-pounds weight per second in imperial units. One horsepower is 550 foot-pounds weight per second or about 746 watts. (Physicists distinguish between the mass of a thing, measured in kilograms or pounds and the force on a thing as a result of gravity, measured in kilograms weight or newtons and pounds weight or poundals. One kilogram weight is about 9.8 newtons; one pound weight is about 32 poundals. But you didn't ask that.)


Is foot-pounds a unit of acceleration?

No, foot-pounds is not a unit of acceleration. Foot-pounds is a unit of energy or work, which is a product of force and distance. Acceleration is measured in units such as meters per second squared (m/s^2) or feet per second squared (ft/s^2).


What is the fps unit of energy?

FPS (foot-pound-second) is a unit of energy in the imperial system. It is defined as the work done when a force of one pound is applied over a distance of one foot.


How many foot pounds is 1 horsepower?

"Foot-lbs" is a unit of energy, whereas "horsepower" is a unit of power,which is the same as the rate of using energy.1 horsepower = 550 foot-pounds per second


What is 550 foot-pounds per second?

550 foot-pounds per second is a unit of power, specifically measuring the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit of time. It indicates the rate at which work is done or energy is used, with each pound of force applied over a distance of one foot per second.
