What are Dyne centimeter and Calorie

A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of work or energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is the work done by a force of one dyne exerted over a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS system, it is a base unit for measuring mechanical energy, where one dyne is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one gram by one centimeter per second squared.

A calorie, specifically a calorie with the International Table (IT) notation, is a unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. The calorie is commonly used in food energy content measurements and can be converted to other energy units like joules, with one calorie IT approximately equal to 4.1868 joules.

History of Dyne centimeter and Calorie

The dyne centimeter to calorie IT conversion is a translation of mechanical energy to heat energy. Originating from the CGS and calorie systems, it's a classic conversion that has been used in various scientific and engineering fields to relate force and distance to energy changes, particularly before the widespread adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
