What are Gram-force Centimeter and Kilogram-force Meter

A gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque, a measure of the force applied at a distance from the axis of rotation. It represents the torque produced by one gram-force acting at a lever arm one centimeter long. It's a smaller unit of torque commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify small-scale rotational forces and moments.

A kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque in the metric system. It measures the amount of rotational force generated when a kilogram-force is applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point. It is a larger unit of torque often used in industrial and mechanical applications to quantify the effectiveness of rotational or turning forces.

History of Gram-force Centimeter and Kilogram-force Meter

A brief history of torque measurement reveals that the concept of force at a distance has been understood since ancient times. The transition from using gram-force centimeters to kilogram-force meters reflects the evolution of engineering and science, accommodating the need for measuring larger and more practical units of torque in various applications.
