What are Megaton and Kilogram-force Meter

A megaton is a unit of measurement for energy equivalent to the energy released by one million tons of TNT. It's commonly used in nuclear energy contexts to describe the explosive force of nuclear weapons. One megaton can also be considered as a unit of mass, representing one million metric tons, although in this context it's less frequently used.

The kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque, a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. One kilogram-force meter is the torque produced by a one kilogram-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one meter from the axis of rotation.
