What is unit of work in FPS system?
The SI unit of work is joule (J).
What is the FPS unit of energy?
It is the energy transferred upon applying a force of one pound-force (lbf) through a linear displacement of one foot. The corresponding SI unit is the joule….Foot-pound (energy)

What is the name of FPS system?
foot-pound-second
The foot-pound-second (fps) system of units is a scheme for measuring dimensional and material quantities. The fundamental units are the foot for length, the pound for weight, and the second for time. The fps system has two variants, known as the American version and the Imperial version.
What is unit work?
In the case of work (and also energy), the standard metric unit is the Joule (abbreviated J). One Joule is equivalent to one Newton of force causing a displacement of one meter. In other words, The Joule is the unit of work.
What is the example of FPS system?
The FPS system of units has the foot, pound, and second as its base units. Unlike modern systems of units, composite dimensions are not necessarily represented by a product of powers of the base units. For example, the unit of power, the horsepower, is not equal to one square foot pound per cubic second.
What is the difference between FPS and SI system of units?
In the MKS system, fundamental units are Meter, kilogram and second. In the FPS system, fundamental units are Foot, Pound and second. In SI system the fundamental units are Meter, Kilogram and Second.
What is unit power?
Watt
Power/SI units
Power (P) is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. Thus, power equals work divided by time (P = W / t). The SI unit of power is the watt (W), in honor of Scottish inventor James Watt (1736 – 1819).
