Kilocalorie (Th)
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a unit to quantify heat energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics. It was widely adopted in the early 20th century for dietary energy measurement.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is primarily used in nutrition to express the energy content of food and drinks, although it is often simply called a 'calorie' in everyday language.
Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
