Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
Kiloelectron-Volt
A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts, commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing energies at the atomic scale, with the prefix 'kilo' added later to denote 1,000 electron-volts, especially in high-energy physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
The keV is widely used today in fields such as X-ray spectroscopy, astrophysics, and particle physics to quantify energies of particles, photons, and nuclear processes.
