Foot Pound To Watt Hour (Ft?Lb To Wh) Converter

The Foot Pound To Watt Hour (Ft·Lb To Wh) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert energy measurements from foot-pounds to watt-hours. This is useful in various fields such as engineering, physics, and energy management where different units are used to quantify work or energy.

A foot-pound (Ft·Lb) is a unit of energy or work commonly used in the United States. It represents the amount of energy needed to lift one pound of weight a distance of one foot against gravity. Mathematically, it is defined as:

1 foot-pound (Ft·Lb) = the work done when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot in the direction of the force.

A watt-hour (Wh), on the other hand, is a unit of energy used internationally, especially in electrical contexts. It measures the amount of energy equivalent to one watt of power used for one hour. The formula for watt-hours is:

1 watt-hour (Wh) = 1 watt of power used for 1 hour.

To convert foot-pounds to watt-hours, you can use the following formula:

Energy (Wh) = Energy (Ft·Lb) × 0.000377

This conversion factor (0.000377) accounts for the relationship between the two units, allowing you to easily switch from foot-pounds to watt-hours with a simple multiplication. Our converter automates this process, providing quick and accurate results for your energy calculations.
