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 It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.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.
Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
