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.

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.
