What are Erg and Kilocalorie

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work done in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. 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.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (th), or simply calorie, is a unit of energy widely used in nutrition. One kilocalorie represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure. It is equivalent to 4.184 kilojoules in the International System of Units (SI).
