Key Terminology

Poundal foot [pdl*ft]
A unit of moment of force equivalent to one poundal applied at a perpendicular lever arm of one foot, used in imperial engineering contexts.
Kilogram-force meter [kgf*m]
A torque unit equal to the moment produced by a one kilogram-force acting perpendicularly at a lever arm of one meter, often used in gravitational unit systems.
Moment of force
The rotational effect produced by a force applied at a distance from a pivot point, also known as torque.
