What is an ounce-force inch?

An ounce-force inch is a non-SI unit representing the moment produced by a force of one avoirdupois ounce acting over a one-inch lever arm, often used for measuring small torques.

How is watt-second related to joules?

A watt-second is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred by one watt of power over one second, and it is dimensionally identical to the joule.

Why convert from ounce-force inch to watt-second?

Converting from ounce-force inch to watt-second helps express small mechanical torque or work in standard energy units, useful for power and energy analyses in engineering and electronics.
