What are Inch-pound and Erg

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque representing the force applied at the end of a one-inch lever that is rotated through an angle of one degree. It's commonly used in the United States for measuring rotational force, particularly in mechanical and engineering applications. The inch-pound is a part of the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, where one foot-pound is equivalent to 12 inch-pounds.

Definition of Erg

An erg is the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system unit of energy and mechanical work. It is equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In other words, one erg is 10^-7 joules. Although not as commonly used as the joule in the International System of Units (SI), the erg remains a standard unit of measure in physics for certain applications, particularly in astrophysics and particle physics.
