Millijoule
A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy equal to one thousandth of a joule, where 1 joule equals 1 newton meter or 1 kg·m²/s².
History/Origin
The millijoule is derived from the SI base unit joule, with the prefix 'milli' indicating a factor of 10⁻³. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, especially in fields like electronics and biomechanics.
Current Use
The millijoule is commonly used today to quantify small energy quantities in electronics, biomedical applications, and energy measurements where precision at a small scale is required.
Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
