About Calorie (thermochemical) (cal)

The small calorie (cal) is the energy needed to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard pressure. While largely replaced by the joule in scientific contexts (1 cal = 4.184 J exactly), the calorie remains in use in chemistry and is the basis for the food Calorie (kilocalorie).

About Foot-pound (ft·lbf)

The energy exerted by a force of one pound-force through a displacement of one foot, equal to approximately 1.356 joules. Torque wrenches for automotive work are calibrated in foot-pounds, and bullet muzzle energies are commonly listed in foot-pounds to help shooters compare cartridge power.
