What are Kilogram-force Meter and Kiloton

Definition of Kilogram-force Meter

A Kilogram-force Meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque within the metric system. It represents the torque produced by a one kilogram-force acting at a one meter radius. Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, causing it to rotate around an axis. One kgf·m is equivalent to the torque resulting from a one kilogram weight being applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.

Definition of Kiloton

A Kiloton (kt) is a unit of energy equivalent to the explosive power of one thousand tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). Often used in the context of nuclear explosions and other large-scale energy releases, one kiloton is equivalent to 4.184 terajoules. This unit provides a standard measure to compare the energy output of different sources, particularly explosives and geological events like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
