What are Gram-force Centimeter and Foot-pound

A gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one gram of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one centimeter from a pivot point. It is a metric unit commonly used in physics and engineering to measure small torque values, particularly in applications where precision is crucial.

A foot-pound (ft·lb) is a unit of torque or rotational force used primarily in the United States. It is defined as the force of one pound acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. This unit is commonly used in various fields such as automotive, engineering, and construction to quantify the amount of torque applied.
