Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
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.
