What are Gram-force Centimeter and Poundal Foot

A gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one gram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one centimeter from a pivot point.

A poundal foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of torque in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, which measures the torque resulting from a one poundal force applied at a one foot distance from a pivot point.

History of Gram-force Centimeter and Poundal Foot

The Gram-force Centimeter to Poundal Foot Converter is a tool that stems from the need to bridge the gap between different measurement systems. The converter's history is rooted in the scientific community's transition from the gram-force centimeter, part of the CGS system, to the poundal foot, a unit in the FPS system. This tool simplifies the process for engineers and scientists who need to convert between these torque units.
