	Pound-force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One pound-force is the force equivalent to that exerted on a mass of one avoirdupois pound on the (idealized) surface of Earth.
		However, in other contexts, the "pound" refers to a unit of mass.
		For example, in structural engineering applications the term "pound" is used almost exclusively to refer to a unit of force and not to refer to the unit of mass.

		where W is work (in foot-pound force), F is force (in [[pound force]]), and d is distance (in feet) over which the force is applied (measured in the direction of the force).
		Foot-pound force is derived from the original equation of KE = wz.
		With these two variables left, this proves mathematically that energy of motion is force through distance, as in the original experiment of the two falling objects; force though distance
