What are Pound-force-foot and Gram-force-meter

Definition of Pound-force-foot

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 (lbf) acting at the end of a lever (or radius) that is one foot long, thereby generating a turning effect around a pivot point.

Definition of Gram-force-meter

A gram-force meter (gf-m) is a metric unit of torque. It is defined as the torque created by one gram-force acting perpendicularly to a moment arm which is one meter long. This unit measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis or pivot.
