What are Erg and Kilopond Meter

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In scientific terms, it is equal to 10^-7 joules. The erg plays a crucial role in physics, particularly in measuring small quantities of energy.

Definition of Kilopond Meter

A kilopond meter (kpm) is a unit of work or energy in the gravitational metric system, primarily used in engineering and physics. It represents the work done by a force of one kilopond (equivalent to the gravitational force on a mass of one kilogram) acting over a distance of one meter. One kpm equals 9.80665 joules, aligning it with the force of gravity.
