What does one gram-force meter represent?

It represents the work done by a force of one gram-force moving through one meter, based on standard gravity.

Why convert gram-force meter to calorie (IT)?

To translate legacy mechanical energy measurements into historical thermal energy units used in classical thermodynamics and steam-engine analysis.

Is calorie (IT) still widely used today?

No, it has mostly been replaced by the joule in modern energy measurements but remains relevant for historical data interpretation.
