Inch-Pound
The inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the force of one pound applied at the end of a one-inch lever arm.
History/Origin
The inch-pound has been used primarily in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, originating from the traditional use of inches and pounds in mechanical and engineering contexts, with its formal recognition dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications to measure torque and energy, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard.
Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
