minus-square_stranger_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up27arrow-down3·1 year ago“pound foot” is the most intuitive name for a unit of force imaginable! How much force? One pound of the foot. Easy!

minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoIt’s a derived unit of torque. Pound is already a measure of force.

minus-squarespaduf@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoThe mnemonic for remembering a newton is actually one of my favorites. It’s the force required to move 1kg by 1m. A kg being roughly the mass of an apple makes Newton a natural and somewhat clever fit for the concept.
