Units SI vs. US System of units

(m, kg, s) vs. (ft, lb, s) Force (N)

Energy (1 N.m = 1 J) 1 kJ = 1,000 J; 1 MJ=1,000,000 J Also expressed as barrel of oil, Quad, eV

Power (1 J/s= 1 W) 1 kW = 1,000 W; 1 MW=106 W; 1 GW=109 W Also expressed as horsepower, BTU/hr

The Golden Rule of Mechanics

Whatever you lose in power you gain in displacement.

Output work can never be as much as input work

The main purpose of machines is to reduce the force (effort) required to do a particular job
