Bio
1 I'm Disabled now due to COPD.
 * Husband of a great wife: She is a Director of Nursing for a Convalescent Hospital.
 * Father of two.
 * Grandfather of four.
 * Code Enforcement Officer1
 * Hunter1, Shooter, Reloader, Rifle builder and Wildcatter for 42 years.

Avocation
My avocation is gun building and wildcatting.

I was an engine builder as a back yard mechanic. I can build any Small Block Chevy, Ford or Mopar. I can build any Big Block Chevy form a 366 gutless wonder (165 HP) to 705 Behemoth (3500 HP).

Wikipidia
In regards to Foot-Pound force I will continue to work to improve the article. With any luck and 20 more years the article should be a good as it was some three years ago.

Energy
Energy: the ability to actively do work on or between an open or closed system. Within these two systems, energy can be potential, kinetic or translational. Energy is a both a non-conserved quantity (open system) and conserved quantity (closed system).

Kinetic Energy is the the "general statement" and Translational Kinetic Energy is the "specific statement". The measurement for translational kinetic energy is called, "Foot-Pound force". Kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy are defined as the energy possessed by an object due to its motion and are mathematically stated as:


 * $$E_k =\tfrac{1}{2} mv^2 \,$$

and
 * $$E_t =\tfrac{mv^2 }{2g_c} $$

Restated;


 * $$E_t = wz \,$$


 * $$E_t =\tfrac{mgvt}{g_c} $$


 * $$E_t =\tfrac{mdFt^2dtt}{t^2mdt^2} $$


 * $$E_t = dF \,$$

or
 * $$E_t = ft \cdot lb_f \,$$

Therefore, the subject is translational kinetic energy and its quotient is ft·lbf:

Translational kinetic energy $$=\,$$ Foot-Pound force

Torque
Torque: A force or system of forces which has the property of turning a body about any axis. The concept of torque comes from the dynamics of rotation and is called, "Moment of Force"

Torque is defined as the product of the pound force applied perpendicular to an axis from the distance of a foot and is mathematically stated as:


 * $$r \times F = \tau\,$$

or


 * $$lb_f \cdot ft = \tau \,$$

Restated;


 * $$\tau = ft \cdot lb_f \,$$


 * $$\tau = d \cdot \tfrac{md}{t^2} $$


 * $$\tau = \tfrac{md^2}{t^2} $$

Therefore, the subject is the pound force and foot and their product is $$ \tau \,$$:


 * Moment of Force $$ = \tau \,$$

Momentum
Momentum: The quantity of motion an object or closed system has due to an impetus within a frame of reference. Momentum is a conserved quantity (closed system).

Momentum is defined as the product of the pound force and velocity of an object and is mathematically stated as:


 * $$m \times v = p\,$$

or


 * $$lb_f \cdot \tfrac {ft}{s} = p $$

Restated;


 * $$p = lb_f \cdot \tfrac {ft}{s} $$


 * $$p = F \cdot \tfrac {d}{t} $$


 * $$p = \tfrac {Fd}{t} $$

Therefore, the subject is the pound force and foot and their product is $$ p \,$$:


 * Momentum $$ = p \,$$
