What units are used in conjunction with the quantity called "work"

Answer 1

Remember Work = Force x Distance and Work is Energy

Depending on what system you are using

Work = feet x lbs force (English system)

or

Work = Kg-meter/sec² x meter = Kg-m²/sec² (Metric System) but 1 Kg-m²/sec² is 1 Joule !

In the English system 1 ft-lbf = 1.3558 Joules
