What does a kiloton [kton] represent in energy units?

A kiloton denotes the energy equivalent of 1,000 short tons of TNT, commonly used to express large explosion yields, equal to 4.184 × 10^12 joules.

Where is inch-ounce [in*ozf] commonly applied?

Inch-ounce measures small-scale torque or work, used in electronics, precision motor ratings, and watchmaking calibration.

Why convert from kiloton to inch-ounce units?

Such conversions relate extremely large explosion energies to smaller mechanical torque scales for comparative and conceptual understanding.
