What are Gram-force Meter and Gigawatt-hour

A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of work or energy in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the work done by a force of one gram-force acting over a distance of one meter. In physics, it represents the energy transferred when a one-gram weight is moved a distance of one meter against the force of gravity.

A gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion watts of power expended for one hour of time. It's a large-scale energy measurement often used in the context of power plants and electricity grids to represent the energy production or consumption equivalent to one gigawatt sustained over an hour.
