TimmyboyWRX laughed out loud more in one post then my science teachers managed collectively in 5 years. Apart from the time they saw Shaun's test paper....

I have a conversion program that states it as - pound force foot .... lbf-ft
Convert it! pro 3.0B for those interested (may be a later version around now)
does all the following - you will never need anything else.
temp
distance
mass
volume
area
angle
power
energy
pressure
time
force
density
velocity
acceleration
angular acceleration
angular velocity
capacitance
charge
current
voltage
inductance
magnetic flux
illuminance
luminance
specific heat
thermal conductivity
torque
viscosity
coverage.
If anyone wants it PM me your email addy

Isn't a pound a unit of mass anyway? The force would depend on gravity

pound - unit of mass - lb
pound force - unit of force - lbf
pound force foot - unit of torque - lbf-ft (i.e what this thread is about)

Shaun doesn't work for scoobysport, that's Simon.
e.g. The technical articles are all posted by "webmaster".

However owing to the proximity of the greengrocer on the ISS, they use a measurment called lb's.ft or ft.lb's when doing their nuts up (or buying a bag of nuts come to that).

A little more reading in the meantime suggests the Americans have since redefined the pound as a function of grams!
No easy answer.
