Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
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.
