What are Kilogram-force Centimeter and Kiloton

Definition of Kilogram-force Centimeter

A kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram-force acting at a one-centimeter radius. It's a practical measurement in engineering and physics to quantify the moment of force or the tendency of a force to induce rotation around an axis.

Definition of Kiloton

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equivalent to 1,000 tons. It is commonly used in the military context to describe the explosive power of nuclear weapons. In this setting, one kiloton of TNT is a measure of energy released in the detonation, equivalent to the energy of 1,000 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT).
