What are Erg and Kilogram-force meter

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 one centimeter. In scientific terms, one erg is exactly 10^-7 joules. It is a small unit, typically used in physics to measure microscopic energy levels.

Definition of Kilogram-force meter

A kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque within the gravitational metric system. It represents the torque resulting from a one kilogram-force applied at the end of a one-meter lever. In other words, it is the turning effect produced when a force of one kilogram is applied to a one-meter distance from a pivot point.
