What are Pound-force Foot and Gram-force Centimeter

A pound-force foot (lbf-ft) is a unit of torque or rotational force in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It represents the force of one pound acting at the end of a lever (arm) that is one foot long, oriented at right angles to the lever arm. This unit is commonly used in automotive and mechanical applications to specify the twisting force applied, for example, to fasteners or engine components.

A gram-force centimeter (gf-cm) is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the torque resulting from a one gram-force acting perpendicularly to a moment arm one centimeter in length. This measure is often used in more precise or smaller-scale applications, such as watchmaking or in the field of electronics, where fine control of torque is required.
