What are Pound-force Inch and Erg

Definition of Pound-force Inch

A pound-force inch (lbf-in) is a unit of torque representing the force of one pound (lbf) applied at the end of a one-inch lever arm. It measures the rotational force necessary to turn objects around a pivot point or axis.

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is equivalent to the work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In SI units, one erg equals 10^-7 joules.
