What are Kilogram-force meter and Megajoule

Definition of Kilogram-force meter

A kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque, also known as moment or rotational force. It represents the torque generated by a one kilogram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot point. This unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify the rotational force applied to objects.

Definition of Megajoule

A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one million joules. Often used to express large-scale energy quantities, it is a measure of work done, heat, or electrical energy. A megajoule represents the energy expended by a force of one newton moving an object one meter.
