What are Gigaton and Pound-force Inch

Definition of Gigaton

A gigaton is a unit of mass equivalent to one billion (10^9) metric tons. It's commonly used in discussing the energy yield of nuclear weapons, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, or the mass of large icebergs. The prefix 'giga-' denotes a factor of a billion, making a gigaton an immensely large unit of measurement that reflects the massive scale of the subjects it's used to quantify.

Definition of Pound-force Inch

A pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one pound-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one inch from a pivot point. This unit is widely used in mechanical and engineering applications to express the effectiveness of a force to produce rotation about an axis. It is crucial in the design and evaluation of engines, machinery, and various mechanical systems.
