What are Dyne-centimeter and Inch-pound

Definition of Dyne-centimeter

A dyne-centimeter (dyn-cm) is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the torque resulting from a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one centimeter long. It is a small unit of torque, reflecting the foundational CGS system which uses basic units of centimeters for distance, grams for mass, and seconds for time.

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque commonly used in the United States. It represents the torque produced by a one-pound force acting on a lever one inch from the pivot point. It is a measure of rotational force and is used in various fields, including engineering, construction, and automotive industries, to specify the tightness of fasteners such as bolts and screws.
