Inch-Pound
The inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the force of one pound applied at the end of a one-inch lever arm.
History/Origin
The inch-pound has been used primarily in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, originating from the traditional use of inches and pounds in mechanical and engineering contexts, with its formal recognition dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications to measure torque and energy, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard.
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.
