Joule

Joule

A measure of work in the kilogram-meter-second system of units. One joule is the amount of work done when a force of one newton moves an object one metre in the direction in which the force is applied. A joule is also known as a newton-meter. One joule is equal to 0.1020 meter-kilogram, or 0.7375 foot-pound of work.
