Dyne Centimeter
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one dyne acts over a distance of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne centimeter originated from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, commonly used in physics before the adoption of the SI system, to measure small amounts of energy or work.
Current Use
Today, the dyne centimeter is primarily used in theoretical physics and specialized fields dealing with CGS units, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most practical applications.
Ton (Explosives)
A ton (explosives) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the explosive power equivalent to one ton of TNT, typically used in military and demolition contexts.
History/Origin
The ton (explosives) originated as a standardized measure to compare explosive yields, with its use becoming prominent during the 20th century for military and industrial applications, aligning with the adoption of the ton as a unit of mass and energy.
Current Use
Today, the ton (explosives) is primarily used in military, demolition, and mining industries to estimate explosive quantities and effects, often expressed in terms of equivalent TNT mass for safety and planning purposes.
