Dyne Centimeter
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one dyne acts over a distance of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne centimeter originated from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, commonly used in physics before the adoption of the SI system, to measure small amounts of energy or work.
Current Use
Today, the dyne centimeter is primarily used in theoretical physics and specialized fields dealing with CGS units, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most practical applications.
Gram-Force Centimeter
Gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force centimeter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force centimeter is rarely used, having been largely replaced by SI units such as the newton meter (N·m) for torque measurements, but it may still appear in specialized or legacy applications.
