Not Ranked
For the same reason that 2x3 = 3x2, the order of the units is immaterial, contrary to what someone said on another post . I'm not sure what this has to do with a lack of integrity. In the literature torque is expressed about an equal number of times in lb ft or ft lb. No need to bring in metric units until we get past this. I guess I am trying to do my small part to educate the public about some pretty basic engineering terms. Power (eg. Btu/min ) is constantly interchanged with energy (Btu). Recently Newsweek did a story on a Japanese solar power station and totally mixed up the units for power and energy to the point I couldn't figure out what the thing was capable of. I wrote a letter.
