What are Kilogram-force Centimeter and Gram-force Meter

Definition of Kilogram-force Centimeter

A kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque, which is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis, pivot, or fulcrum. It is defined as the torque created by one kilogram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one centimeter from a pivot point. Torque is a crucial concept in engineering, physics, and automotive industries, representing rotational force.

Definition of Gram-force Meter

A gram-force meter (gf·m) is similarly a unit of torque. It represents the amount of torque or rotational force generated by a one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation. This unit is commonly used in fields where smaller torque values are relevant, such as in precision engineering or in the application of forces in instrumentation.

Conversion of Kilogram-force Centimeter to Gram-force Meter

1 kgf·cm = 0.1 gf·m
1 gf·m = 10 kgf·cm

Example 1:
Convert 20 kgf·cm to gf·m:
20 kgf·cm = 20 × 0.1 gf·m = 2 gf·m

Example 2:
Convert 75 kgf·cm to gf·m:
75 kgf·cm = 75 × 0.1 gf·m = 7.5 gf·m

History of Kilogram-force Centimeter and Gram-force Meter

The Kilogram-force Centimeter to Gram-force Meter Converter has roots in the historical evolution of the metric system. It stems from the need to convert between different scales of torque measurements, correlating the force applied by weight (kilogram or gram) at a certain distance (centimeter or meter).
