<P> A pound - foot (lbf ⋅ ft or lb ⋅ ft) is a unit of torque (a pseudovector). One pound - foot is the torque created by one pound force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point . Conversely one pound - foot is the moment about an axis that applies one pound - force at a radius of one foot . </P> <P> One pound - foot is approximately 1.355 818 newton meters . </P> <P> The name "pound - foot", intended to minimize confusion with the foot - pound as a unit of work, was apparently first proposed by British physicist Arthur Mason Worthington . However, the torque unit is often still referred to as the foot - pound (ft ⋅ lbf). </P>
