A pound-foot (often abbreviated as lb-ft) is a unit of measurement used to quantify torque, which is a measure of the rotational force applied at a distance from a pivot point or axis of rotation. Torque represents how much force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The pound-foot is defined as the torque resulting from a one pound-force being applied at a distance of one foot from the pivot point.
