What are Erg and Pound-force inch

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 physical sciences, the erg is commonly used as a measure of energy, although the joule, the SI unit of energy, has largely replaced it.

A pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque (a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis) in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is the torque created by one pound-force applied to an object at a distance of one inch from the pivot point. This unit is widely used in various applications, such as automotive and engineering fields, to quantify rotational forces.
