What are Megaton and Newton Meter

Definition of Megaton

A megaton is a unit of explosive energy typically used to describe the power of nuclear weapons. Its equivalent to the energy released by one million tons of TNT. This unit represents a colossal amount of energy, reflecting the destructive potential of nuclear armaments. In scientific contexts, it's used as a benchmark for large-scale energy comparisons.

Definition of Newton Meter

A newton meter (Nm) is a unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI), representing the torque resulting from a one newton force applied perpendicularly to a moment arm that is one meter long. It is a measure of rotational force, commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify the effectiveness of a rotational force or the energy transferred in rotational motion.
