Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
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.
