Foot Pound To Gigajoule (Ft?Lb To Gj) Converter

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

A foot-pound (Ft·Lb) is a unit of energy commonly used in the United States, especially in mechanical and engineering fields. It represents the amount of energy needed to move one pound of weight a distance of one foot. Mathematically, 1 foot-pound equals approximately 1.355818 Joules.

A gigajoule (GJ) is a larger unit of energy used in scientific and industrial applications. It equals one billion Joules (1 GJ = 1,000,000,000 Joules). This unit is often used to measure large-scale energy quantities, such as in energy production or consumption.

To convert foot-pounds to gigajoules, you can use the following formula:
GJ = (Ft·Lb) × 1.355818 ÷ 1,000,000,000

Simply input the value in foot-pounds into the converter, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent energy in gigajoules for you. This makes it easy to switch between these units without manual calculations.
