What are Foot-pound and Gram-force Meter

Definition of Foot-pound

A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the British Engineering System. It is the work done by a one-pound force acting over a distance of one foot, in the direction of the force. This measure is often used in mechanical engineering to quantify the amount of energy transferred by a force performing work.

Definition of Gram-force Meter

A gram-force meter (gfm) is a metric unit of torque, which is a measurement of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis or pivot. One gram-force meter is the torque created by a one gram-force acting perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long.
