What are Erg and Newton Meter

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work 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), the erg is not a standard unit, and the joule is used instead, where 1 erg equals 1x10^-7 joules.

Definition of Newton Meter

A Newton meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque, which is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. It is the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long. It is also used as a unit of work, or energy, in which case it is equivalent to the work done by a force of one newton acting on an object to move it one meter in the direction of the force.

Erg to Newton Meter Conversion Table

Erg Newton Meter (N·m)
1 erg 1e-07 N·m
10 erg 1e-06 N·m
100 erg 1e-05 N·m
1,000 erg 0.0001 N·m
10,000 erg 0.001 N·m
100,000 erg 0.01 N·m
1,000,000 erg 0.1 N·m
10,000,000 erg 1 N·m
100,000,000 erg 10 N·m
1,000,000,000 erg 100 N·m

Conversion of Erg to Newton Meter

1 erg = 1e-07 N·m
10 erg = 1e-06 N·m

Example 1:
convert 500 erg to N·m:
500 erg = 500 × 1e-07 N·m = 5e-05 N·m

Example 2:
convert 2,500,000 erg to N·m:
2,500,000 erg = 2,500,000 × 1e-07 N·m = 0.25 N·m

History of Erg and Newton Meter

A brief history of the Erg to Newton Meter Converter traces back to the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). As scientific communities recognized the need for a standardized unit system, tools like the converter became essential for facilitating conversions between the CGS system's erg and the SI's newton meter, harmonizing measurements for global collaboration in research and industry.
