A gigajoule (GJ) is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to one billion joules, commonly used to quantify large amounts of thermal, mechanical, or chemical energy.

What does a gram-force meter measure?

A gram-force meter (gf·m) measures the work done by a force of one gram-force acting over a distance of one meter; it is a non-SI unit based on standard gravity.

Why convert gigajoules to gram-force meters?

Conversions to gram-force meters are useful for comparing large energy amounts with smaller mechanical work units in legacy engineering contexts or historical data analysis.
