Torque is all that matters here
• u/ThaScoopALoop 19h ago 110 HP, 1000 lbf/ft! • u/hysys_whisperer 15h ago What's a lbs/ft? You mean lb-ft. Foot goes in the numerator with lbs. Not the denominator as you noted. • u/Vecna_Is_My_Co-Pilot 11h ago The notation would be fine if they reversed the numbers also, Lb/ft torque would get smaller as the force got bigger. • u/hysys_whisperer 11h ago Lb/ft would never be torque anyway. Torque is always force times length. • u/Vecna_Is_My_Co-Pilot 11h ago Youre right, it seems I am justified in not continuing my engineering career.
