Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
