Foot Pound To Kilocalorie (Ft?Lb To Kcal) Converter

The Foot Pound To Kilocalorie (Ft·Lb To Kcal) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert energy measurements from foot-pounds to kilocalories. Understanding these units can be useful in various fields such as physics, nutrition, and engineering.

A foot-pound (Ft·Lb) is a unit of energy commonly used in the United States to measure work or energy. It represents the amount of energy needed to lift one pound of weight by one foot against gravity. Mathematically, 1 foot-pound equals the work done when a force of one pound is applied over a distance of one foot.

A kilocalorie (Kcal), often simply called a calorie in nutrition, is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of energy food provides when consumed. One kilocalorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.

To convert foot-pounds to kilocalories, you can use the following formula:
Kcal = Ft·Lb × 0.000323
This means that for every foot-pound of energy, approximately 0.000323 kilocalories are equivalent.

Our converter simplifies this process, allowing you to input a value in foot-pounds and instantly see the equivalent energy in kilocalories. Whether you’re working on a physics project or tracking energy expenditure, this tool makes conversions quick and easy.
