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.
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.
