What are Gram-force Centimeter and Inch-pound

Definition of Gram-force Centimeter

A gram-force centimeter (gf-cm) is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second system. It represents the torque resulting from a one gram-force applied perpendicularly to a one-centimeter long lever arm. It's a measure of rotational force that is not as commonly used as Newton-meter in the SI system but can be found in certain applications such as small-scale engineering and physics.

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque commonly used in the United States. It represents the force of one pound applied at the end of a lever (wrench or screwdriver) one inch from the pivot point. It's mainly used in mechanical engineering, construction, and where imperial units are preferred. The inch-pound measures how much rotational force is exerted in twisting motions, such as tightening bolts or screws.
