What are Kilogram-force square Meter and Ton-force short sq. Foot

Definition of Kilogram-force square Meter

A 'kilogram-force square meter' (kgf·m²) is a unit of torque in the metric system. It represents the torque produced by one kilogram-force acting at a lever arm one meter long. Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, causing it to rotate around an axis. This unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify the rotational effect of a force.

Definition of Ton-force short sq. Foot

A 'ton-force short square foot' (tonf·ft²) is a unit of torque in the Imperial system. It describes the twisting force generated by one short ton-force (a US customary unit of weight) acting on a lever arm measured one foot in length. This unit is vital in various applications, including engineering and mechanical calculations, where it helps quantify rotational forces in systems using Imperial measurements.
