Gram-Force Centimeter
Gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force centimeter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force centimeter is rarely used, having been largely replaced by SI units such as the newton meter (N·m) for torque measurements, but it may still appear in specialized or legacy applications.
Ton (Explosives)
A ton (explosives) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the explosive power equivalent to one ton of TNT, typically used in military and demolition contexts.
History/Origin
The ton (explosives) originated as a standardized measure to compare explosive yields, with its use becoming prominent during the 20th century for military and industrial applications, aligning with the adoption of the ton as a unit of mass and energy.
Current Use
Today, the ton (explosives) is primarily used in military, demolition, and mining industries to estimate explosive quantities and effects, often expressed in terms of equivalent TNT mass for safety and planning purposes.
