What is a gram-force centimeter?

A gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit of energy representing work done by one gram-force acting over one centimeter, equaling 9.80665×10⁻⁵ joules.

What does one megawatt-hour represent?

One megawatt-hour is the energy produced or consumed when one megawatt of power is sustained for one hour, equivalent to 3.6 × 10⁹ joules.

Why convert from gram-force centimeters to megawatt-hours?

To translate small mechanical work measurements into large-scale electrical energy units, enabling cross-domain comparisons and aggregated energy analysis.
