What are Inch-ounce and Kiloton

An inch-ounce (in-oz) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force created by one ounce force acting at a distance of one inch from the pivot point. It is commonly used in engineering and applied physics to measure how much force is applied to rotate an object around an axis or pivot. This unit is especially relevant in fields like mechanical design, where precise torque measurements are crucial.

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equivalent to 1,000 metric tons or approximately 2.20462 million pounds. It is often used to express the energy released in explosions, particularly nuclear detonations, where the energy yield is comparable to the explosive force of thousands of tons of TNT. Kiloton is a standard unit in military and civil engineering contexts as well as in discussions about energy policy and climate change.
