Re: Re:
Foot pounds would be a unit of energy not force, would it not, or perhaps a unit of torque?
Evidently i don't understand the spring scale. To me it would read in force units such as pounds. Where/how does it read foot pounds?? Me, i cannot visualize a unit of foot pound force.JStanley said:......BTW - that nice force gauge you show works by compressing a spring to a distance, which is then converted to foot-pounds-force......
