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.
Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
