Mechanical energy
In the history of thermodynamics, mechanical energy is a term used to refer to the act of raising 772-pounds through a height of one foot. [1] The term is a near synonym to those of mechanical action, mechanical effect, and mechanical work. The term was first used in 1859 by Scottish engineer William Rankine.
