What are Dyne-centimeter and Kilocalorie

Definition of Dyne-centimeter

A dyne-centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It represents the torque resulting from a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly to a moment arm that is one centimeter long. Torque is a measure of the rotational force on an object, influencing its ability to rotate around an axis.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of nutrition and food science. It represents the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. In dietary contexts, the kilocalorie is often referred to as a 'calorie,' which is used to quantify the energy that food provides to the body.
