What are Kilogram-force Centimeter and Newton Meter

Definition of Kilogram-force Centimeter

A Kilogram-force Centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram-force acting at a lever arm one centimeter long. It embodies the torque resulting from a one kilogram mass subject to Earth's gravity at the surface, inducing rotational motion on a one-centimeter radius.

Definition of Newton Meter

A Newton Meter (N·m) is a unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI) that quantifies the rotational force needed to turn an object around an axis or pivot. Specifically, it is the torque produced by one newton of force acting perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long.
