Pound-Force Inch
Pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque representing the torque resulting from a one-pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The pound-force inch has been used historically in engineering and mechanical contexts to quantify torque, especially in the United States, based on the imperial system of units. It originated from the need to measure rotational force in machinery and automotive applications.
Current Use
Today, pound-force inch is still used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical fields to specify torque values, particularly in the United States. It is often converted to SI units like newton-meters for international standardization.
Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
