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 It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.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.
Watt-Second
A watt-second (W·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one joule, representing the amount of energy transferred or converted when one watt of power is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The watt-second originated from the SI system of units, where the watt (W) is the SI derived unit of power, and the second (s) is the SI base unit of time. It has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where energy transfer occurs over short durations.
Current Use
The watt-second is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, such as in electrical and mechanical systems. It is often replaced by the joule in modern applications but remains a recognized unit within the energy converter category.
