What is a gram-force centimeter used for?

It measures very small mechanical work or energy, common in precision instruments and miniature motors.

What does one horsepower (metric) hour represent?

It is the energy produced by sustaining one metric horsepower for one hour, often used in engine testing.

Why are conversions between these units so small?

Because gram-force centimeters represent very small energies compared to the large energy of a horsepower hour.
