Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
Watt-Hour
A watt-hour (W·h) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred or used when one watt of power is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was established as a practical unit of energy measurement with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and has been used in electrical and energy industries to quantify energy consumption and storage since the 20th century.
Current Use
Watt-hours are commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in household appliances, batteries, and energy storage systems, providing a convenient unit for billing, capacity ratings, and energy management.
