Converting from Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf) to Electronvolt (eV) | Energy

What is Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf)

Foot-pound force (ft lbf) is a unit of energy commonly used in the imperial system. It represents the amount of work done when a force of one pound is applied over a distance of one foot.

What is Electronvolt (eV)

Electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy used in physics, especially in the field of atomic and nuclear physics. It is the energy gained by an electron when accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between foot-pound force (ft lbf) and electronvolt (eV) can be expressed as:

1ftlbf=8.473862×1018eV

1eV=1.180099×10−19ftlbf

Examples

• 7 ft lbf is equal to 59.31704 x 10^18 eV.
• 6 ft lbf converts to 50.84317 x 10^18 eV.
• 13 ft lbf is equivalent to 110.1602 x 10^18 eV.

This article serves as a useful tool for converting energy values from foot-pound force to electronvolt units.
