Calculation Info

The Erg To Foot Pound (Erg To Ft·Lb) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert energy measurements from ergs to foot-pounds. This is useful in various scientific and engineering contexts where different units of energy are used.

An erg is a small unit of energy commonly used in physics, especially in the field of classical mechanics and astrophysics. One erg is defined as the amount of work done when a force of one dyne moves an object one centimeter. Mathematically, 1 erg equals 1 × 10-7 joules.

A foot-pound (ft·lb) is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States, representing the amount of energy transferred when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot. It is a common unit in mechanical and engineering applications. One foot-pound equals approximately 1.355818 joules.

To convert ergs to foot-pounds, you can use the following formula:
Energy in foot-pounds = Energy in ergs × 1.0550559 × 10-7

This converter simplifies the process, allowing you to input a value in ergs and instantly see the equivalent energy in foot-pounds, making unit conversions quick and straightforward for your projects or studies.
