Convert gram-force meter to erg

Please provide values below to convert gram-force meter [gf*m] to erg [erg], or Convert erg to gram-force meter.

1 gf*m = 98066.5 erg. To convert gram-force meter to erg, multiply the value by 98066.5; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg = 1.01971621298e-05 gf*m). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Quick Reference

  • 1 gf*m = 98066.5 erg
  • 1 erg = 1.01971621298e-05 gf*m
  • 10 gf*m = 980665 erg

Gram-Force Meter

A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.

History/Origin

The gram-force meter 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 meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.


Erg

The erg is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the amount of work done when a force of one dyne displaces an object by one centimeter.

History/Origin

The erg was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the CGS system of units, primarily used in physics to measure small amounts of energy before the adoption of the SI system.

Current Use

Today, the erg is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of specific scientific contexts, with the SI unit joule being the standard for energy measurement. It remains relevant in some fields like astrophysics and theoretical physics.
