To define the tonne of TNT, this was standardized to 1 kilocalorie (4,184 joules) giving a value of 4.184 gigajoules (1 billion calories) for the tonne of TNT. Explosions Ī gram of TNT releases 4,100 to 4,600 joules (980 to 1,100 calories) upon explosion. The corresponding CGS unit is the dyne, the force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimeter per second squared, or g·cm·s². In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units 1 J = 1 k g ( m s ) 2 = 1 k g ⋅ m 2 s 2 1\ being the proportionality constant. The SI unit of force is the newton (N), which is the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared, or kg·m·s². 1 joule 0.239 Calories 1 joule 9.48 x 10-4 BTU 1 joule 2.
