The nanometre (SI symbol: nm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −9 metres ( 1 / 1 000 000 000 m = 0. 000 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −9 and 10 −8 m (1 nm and 10 nm).
Official SI literature indicates newton-metre, is properly denoted N⋅m, as the unit for torque; although this is dimensionally equivalent to the joule, which is not used for torque. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] In the case of torque, the unit is assigned to a vector , whereas for energy , it is assigned to a scalar .

A metric ounce is an approximation of the imperial ounce, US dry ounce, or US fluid ounce. These three customary units vary. However, the metric ounce is usually taken as 25 or 30 ml (0.88 or 1.06 imp fl oz; 0.85 or 1.01 US fl oz) when volume is being measured, or in grams when mass is being measured.
τ is the torque in newton metres ω is the angular velocity in radians per second F is the force in newtons v is the linear velocity in metres per second. Division by a conversion constant may be required, depending on the units of measure used. For imperial or U.S. customary units,
Therefore, the spring constant k, and each element of the tensor κ, is measured in newtons per meter (N/m), or kilograms per second squared (kg/s 2). For continuous media, each element of the stress tensor σ is a force divided by an area; it is therefore measured in units of pressure, namely pascals (Pa, or N/m 2 , or kg/(m·s 2 ).
Here the metric prefix 'kilo-' (symbol 'k') stands for a factor of 1000; thus, 1 km = 1000 m. The SI provides twenty-four metric prefixes that signify decimal powers ranging from 10 −30 to 10 30, the most recent being adopted in 2022.
