Two points:
(a) I think 1ac is three words, not two as indicated (on the copy on the web site, at any rate).
(b) 14d confuses force with energy.

Yes, kayakamina, but my point is that in blank1 blank2 force the correct reading is that blank2 is a multiplier of the whole entity (blank2 force): there is no way that blank blank can be defined as force.

(b) FOOT POUND - force required to raise a pound weight a foot high. Pay = foot (as in foot the bill); quid = pound
