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.
Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
