  2. Foot-pound (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-pound_(energy)

    The foot-pound force (symbol: ft⋅lbf, [1] ftlb f, [2] or ftlb [3]) is a unit of work or energy in the engineering and gravitational systems in United States customary and imperial units of measure. It is the energy transferred upon applying a force of one pound-force (lbf) through a linear displacement of one foot.

  3. Slug (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)

    One slug is a mass equal to 32.17405 lb (14.59390 kg) based on standard gravity, the international foot, and the avoirdupois pound. [3] In other words, at the Earth's surface (in standard gravity), an object with a mass of 1 slug weighs approximately 32.17405 lbf or 143.1173 N. [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

  4. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    As the unit name suggests, it is the product of pounds for the unit of force and feet for the unit of displacement. One joule is approximately equal to 0.7376 ft-lbs. [16] [17] Non-SI units of work include the newton-metre, erg, the foot-pound, the foot-poundal, the kilowatt hour, the litre-atmosphere, and the horsepower-hour.

  7. Free recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recoil

    Free recoil / Frecoil is a vernacular term or jargon for recoil energy of a firearm not supported from behind. Free recoil denotes the translational kinetic energy (E t) imparted to the shooter of a small arm when discharged and is expressed in joules (J), or foot-pound force (ft·lb f) for non-SI units of measure.

  8. Air gun laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_gun_laws

    Air guns with both a muzzle velocity greater than 152.4 meters per second (500 feet per second) and a muzzle energy greater than 5.7 joules (4.2 foot-pounds) are firearms for purposes of both the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code. [4] Usually the manufacturer's specifications are used to determine the design muzzle velocity and energy.
