What are Erg and Gram-force Meter

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 the International System of Units (SI), an erg is equal to 10^-7 joules. This small unit of energy is often used in physics and astrophysics.

A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It represents the torque created by one gram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot point. This unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to express rotational force or the turning effect of a force applied at a distance from an axis of rotation.
