Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
