Gigajoule
A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billion joules, used to measure large amounts of energy such as in power generation and fuel consumption.
History/Origin
The gigajoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standard measure for large-scale energy quantities, especially in scientific and industrial contexts, gaining prominence in the 20th century.
Current Use
Gigajoules are commonly used today to quantify energy in fields like energy production, consumption, and engineering, particularly for large-scale systems such as power plants, fuel storage, and energy audits.
Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
