What are Megaelectron-volt and Pound-force Inch

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electron-volts (eV). One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. In other contexts, the MeV can also be used to express other types of energy, such as the binding energy of nuclei or the energy of gamma-ray photons.

The Pound-force Inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point. It is a product of force (in pound-force) and distance (in inches), indicating how much force is acting on an object to cause it to rotate about an axis. This unit is commonly used in the United States for various applications, including automotive torque specifications and the calibration of tools.
