Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
