Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
Gram-Force Centimeter
Gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force centimeter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force centimeter is rarely used, having been largely replaced by SI units such as the newton meter (N·m) for torque measurements, but it may still appear in specialized or legacy applications.
