What is a gram-force centimeter?

A gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit of energy representing the work done by a force of one gram-force acting over one centimeter.

What does an inch-pound measure?

An inch-pound measures energy or torque resulting from one pound-force applied over a distance of one inch.

Why convert gram-force centimeters to inch-pounds?

Converting helps interpret small torque or energy values from metric non-SI units into US customary units used in mechanical and engineering contexts.
