Ounce-Force
Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one ounce under standard gravity, approximately 0.278 Newtons.
History/Origin
The ounce-force originated from the imperial and US customary systems, used historically for measuring small forces, especially in engineering and physics contexts before the widespread adoption of the Newton as the SI unit.
Current Use
Ounce-force is rarely used today, primarily in legacy systems or specific industries such as aerospace and mechanical engineering where imperial units are still in use, but it has largely been replaced by the Newton in scientific and international contexts.
Pound Foot/square Second
The pound foot per square second (lb*ft/s^2) is a unit of force representing the force exerted by a one-pound mass accelerated at one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
This unit originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify force based on the pound as a unit of mass and foot as a unit of distance, with seconds as the time unit. It is related to the pound-force (lbf) but includes a distance component, making it a derived unit in mechanics.
Current Use
The pound foot per square second is rarely used in modern practice; force is typically expressed in pound-force (lbf). When used, it appears in specific engineering contexts involving force calculations in imperial units, especially in classical mechanics and engineering analyses.
