Discover the simplicity of converting gram-force centimeter (gfc) to pound-force foot (lbf*ft) with our efficient tool. Curated by Newtum, this page ensures precise conversions at your fingertips.
A gram-force centimeter (gfc) is a unit of torque, which is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. One gram-force centimeter is the torque resulting from a force of one gram exerted perpendicular to a moment arm (lever) that is one centimeter long.
Definition of Pound-force FootA pound-force foot (lbf*ft) is a unit of torque in the Imperial system of units. It measures the rotational force applied at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. Specifically, it is the torque created by one pound-force acting perpendicular to a one-foot-long moment arm.
| Gram-force Centimeter (gfc) | Pound-force Foot (lbf*ft) |
|---|---|
| 10 gfc | 0.07233 lbf*ft |
| 20 gfc | 0.14466 lbf*ft |
| 30 gfc | 0.21699 lbf*ft |
| 40 gfc | 0.28932 lbf*ft |
| 50 gfc | 0.36165 lbf*ft |
| 60 gfc | 0.43398 lbf*ft |
| 70 gfc | 0.50631 lbf*ft |
| 80 gfc | 0.57864 lbf*ft |
| 90 gfc | 0.65097 lbf*ft |
| 100 gfc | 0.7233 lbf*ft |
1 gfc = 0.07233 lbf*ft
1 lbf*ft = 13.8255 gfc
Example 1:
convert 50 gfc to lbf*ft:
50 gfc = 50 × 0.07233 lbf*ft = 3.6165 lbf*ft
Example 2:
convert 120 gfc to lbf*ft:
120 gfc = 120 × 0.07233 lbf*ft = 8.6796 lbf*ft
Historically, the conversion between gram-force centimeters and pound-force feet was essential in bridging the gap between metric and imperial units. This specific torque conversion has facilitated engineering calculations and mechanical design across different regions and industries worldwide.
Understanding the practical utility of converting gfc to lbf*ft is crucial for many fields. Here's how it's applied in real life.
Example 1: To convert 200 gfc to lbf*ft:
200 gfc = 200 × 0.07233 lbf*ft = 14.466 lbf*ft
Example 2: To convert 500 gfc to lbf*ft:
500 gfc = 500 × 0.07233 lbf*ft = 36.165 lbf*ft
