Megaelectron-Volt
A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electron-volts, commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to express the energy of particles.
History/Origin
The megaelectron-volt was introduced as a convenient unit for expressing high-energy particles in physics, particularly after the development of particle accelerators in the mid-20th century, replacing the electron-volt for larger energy scales.
Current Use
Today, the MeV is widely used in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics to quantify the energy of subatomic particles, nuclear reactions, and cosmic phenomena.
Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
