Foot Pound-Force/minute
The foot pound-force per minute (ft*lbf/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over one minute.
History/Origin
This unit has been used primarily in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in the United States, where imperial units are common. It originated from the foot-pound-force as a measure of work, combined with time to express power.
Current Use
The foot pound-force per minute is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, for measuring power in mechanical systems, motors, and torque-related applications where imperial units are standard.
Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
