What does pound-force foot measure?

Pound-force foot measures mechanical energy as the work done by a force of one pound-force acting through a displacement of one foot.

What is a nutritional Calorie?

A nutritional Calorie, denoted with a capital C, represents a kilocalorie or 1,000 small calories, and quantifies food energy content.

Can I use this tool for torque conversion?

This tool converts energy values; while torque shares unit dimensions, torque and energy are distinct and should not be confused.
