Convert erg/second to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 1e-07 N*m/s. To convert erg/second to newton meter/second, multiply the value by 1e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N*m/s = 10000000 erg/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 erg/s = 1e-07 N*m/s
- 1 N*m/s = 10000000 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 1e-06 N*m/s
- 100 erg/s = 1e-05 N*m/s
How to Convert Erg/second to Newton Meter/second
1 erg/s = 1e-07 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 erg/s to N*m/s:
15 erg/s = 15 × 1e-07 N*m/s = 1.5e-06 N*m/s

Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 erg/second in newton meter/second?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 1e-07 newton meter/second (N*m/s).
How do you convert erg/second to newton meter/second?
Multiply the erg/second value by 1e-07. For example, 25 erg/s × 1e-07 = 2.5e-06 N*m/s.
