About Pound-foot squared (lb·ft²)
An imperial mass-moment-of-inertia unit used in US mechanical engineering for flywheels, turbine rotors, and automotive drivetrain inertia. A typical passenger-car engine crankshaft+flywheel combined inertia is ~0.2 lb·ft² = 0.0084 kg·m². US automotive powertrain engineering specifications often list inertia in lb·ft².
About Pound-inch squared (lb·in²)
An imperial mass-moment-of-inertia unit (1 lb·in² ≈ 2.926 × 10⁻⁴ kg·m²) used for smaller rotating components in US mechanical engineering — servo shafts, small flywheels, and engine valvetrain components where the finer resolution compared to lb·ft² helps.
