Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
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.
