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 It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.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.
Megajoule
A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to one million joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule was introduced as part of the metric system to measure large amounts of energy, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, aligning with the SI units established in the 20th century.
Current Use
The megajoule is used in fields such as physics, engineering, and energy industries to quantify large energy quantities, including in energy production, consumption, and scientific research.
