What are Dyne-centimeter and Erg

A dyne-centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of torque within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the torque resulting from a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly to a lever one centimeter long. Torque is a measure of the rotational force on an object, influencing how it rotates around an axis.

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In essence, one erg is 10^-7 joules, highlighting its minuscule magnitude in terms of energy.

History of Dyne-centimeter and Erg

A brief history of the Dyne-Centimeter to Erg Converter traces back to the adoption of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. This system, developed in the 19th century, provided a convenient way to measure energy, force, and torque in scientific research. The converter is a modern tool that simplifies the conversion between these two CGS units.
