A nanojoule is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to one billionth of a joule, commonly used to measure extremely small energy quantities.

What does pound-force foot measure?

Pound-force foot is an imperial unit of energy representing work done by one pound-force acting through a one-foot displacement; it is also used to express torque values.

Can pound-force foot represent both energy and torque?

Yes, pound-force foot units are used to indicate both energy and torque, but it is important to interpret the context correctly since energy and torque are physically different.
