What are Kilopondmeter and Megajoule

Definition of Kilopondmeter

A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of work, or energy, commonly used in the field of physics. It represents the work done by a force of one kilopond acting over a distance of one meter. In more technical terms, it is the energy expended in applying a kilopond force over a linear displacement of one meter.

Definition of Megajoule

A megajoule (MJ) is a large unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). One megajoule equals one million joules. Typically used to quantify substantial amounts of energy, it is often applied in various fields such as physics, engineering, and industry, representing the energy transferred or converted in various processes.
