What are Kilogram-force centimeter and Pound-force foot

A kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram-force acting at a distance of one centimeter from a pivot point. It combines mass (kilogram) and distance (centimeter) to articulate the magnitude of force applied in a rotational scenario, commonly used in engineering and physics.

A pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque within the British Imperial and U.S. customary systems. It measures the rotational force produced by one pound-force acting on a lever one foot long, pivoted at one end. It's essential for understanding the application of forces in machinery and structural design.

History of Kilogram-force centimeter and Pound-force foot

The concept of converting kilogram-force centimeters to pound-force feet dates back to the adoption of international units of measurements. It has facilitated engineers and technicians in comparing torque values across different measurement systems, thus aiding in the globalization of engineering practices.
