What does one gram-force meter represent?

It represents the work done by a force of one gram-force acting through a distance of one meter, expressed as a non-SI energy unit based on standard gravity.

Why is ton (explosives) used for energy measurement?

Ton (explosives) quantifies energy release from detonations, providing a common scale for describing explosive yield and large energy releases.

Can I use this conversion for precise scientific calculations?

Due to the approximate nature of the ton (explosives) unit and very small values involved, this conversion is best suited for comparative and contextual uses rather than exact precision.
