What is a microjoule used for?

A microjoule quantifies very small amounts of energy, such as pulse energy in ultrafast lasers, energy stored in small capacitors, or mechanical work in micro-scale sensors.

Why convert microjoules to pound-force foot?

Conversion helps express small energy values measured in SI units into the imperial system, which is often used in mechanical engineering, ballistics, and when dealing with legacy data.

Is pound-force foot the same as torque?

While they share units and the symbol is sometimes used for torque, pound-force foot as used here refers to energy, which is physically distinct from torque.
