What are Gigajoule and Newton-meter

Definition of Gigajoule

A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one billion joules. It's a substantial amount of energy, often used in scientific and industrial contexts to express large-scale energy transfers or consumptions, such as in electricity generation or natural gas distribution.

Definition of Newton-meter

A Newton-meter (Nm) is the SI unit of torque, which is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. One Newton-meter is equal to the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long.
