Unit Explanations
Kilogram Second Square Meterkg·s²·m
Source UnitThe kilogram second square meter (kg·s²·m) is a derived unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the rotational force applied to an object, where one kilogram meter per second squared is equivalent to the torque generated by a one-kilogram mass at a one-meter radius with an angular acceleration of one radian per second squared. This unit is fundamental in mechanics, especially in dynamics and rotational motion studies, facilitating the analysis of forces acting upon rotating bodies.
Current Use
The kilogram second square meter is widely used in engineering, physics, and various industrial applications. It is crucial for analyzing systems involving rotational dynamics, such as engines, turbines, and machinery. In mechanical engineering, this unit helps quantify the torque produced by motors, facilitating the design of efficient systems. Moreover, it plays a significant role in automotive and aerospace industries, where precise torque measurements are essential for performance and safety.
Fun Fact
The kilogram second square meter is part of a broader system of derived units that help scientists and engineers communicate effectively across disciplines.
Kilogram Hour Square Meterkg·h·m²
Target UnitThe kilogram hour square meter (kg·h·m²) is a composite unit that expresses mass flow rate in terms of mass (kilograms) applied over a specific time (hours) and area (square meters). This unit is particularly useful in fields such as engineering and physics where mass transfer processes are analyzed. It quantifies how much mass is moved or processed over a defined area within an hour, allowing for assessments related to fluid dynamics, material delivery, and other applications where mass and area interact over time.
Current Use
The kilogram hour square meter is utilized in industries such as chemical engineering, civil engineering, and environmental science. It is particularly relevant in processes involving fluid flow, where it allows engineers to calculate the mass of materials transported or processed over a specified area within a set time frame, facilitating efficient design and operation of systems such as pipelines, reactors, and filtration systems.
Fun Fact
The kilogram is the only SI base unit with a physical artifact as its definition until the 2019 redefinition.

Definition
The kilogram second square meter (kg·s²·m) is a derived unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the rotational force applied to an object, where one kilogram meter per second squared is equivalent to the torque generated by a one-kilogram mass at a one-meter radius with an angular acceleration of one radian per second squared. This unit is fundamental in mechanics, especially in dynamics and rotational motion studies, facilitating the analysis of forces acting upon rotating bodies.
History & Origin
The concept of torque has its roots in classical mechanics, attributed to ancient Greek philosophers like Archimedes. The specific unit kg·s²·m was formalized with the establishment of the International System of Units (SI) in the late 20th century, aiming to unify measurements across scientific disciplines. The metric system's evolution over time has included various units for measuring rotational forces, culminating in the adoption of this derived unit for its clarity and consistency in expressing torque.
Etymology: The term 'torque' is derived from the Latin word 'torquere,' meaning to twist. This reflects the twisting force that produces rotation in physical systems.
