What are Ton and Newton Meter

Definition of Ton

The term 'Ton' in the context of explosives refers to a unit of measure that quantifies the energy released in an explosion. Historically, it's based on the energy released by a ton of TNT (trinitrotoluene). This unit is not to be confused with the mass unit tonne or the non-metric ton, which is used to measure weight.

Definition of Newton Meter

A Newton Meter (Nm) is a unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI). It's defined as the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm that is one meter long. It measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot.
