What are Kilogram-force Centimeter and Poundal Foot

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 combines the mass unit kilogram with the acceleration due to gravity and the distance in centimeters to quantify twisting or turning force.

A Poundal Foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of torque in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It measures the rotational force produced when a one poundal force is applied perpendicularly to a one-foot-long lever arm. This traditional unit helps to understand torque in systems not using the metric standard.
