What does a gram-force meter measure?

A gram-force meter measures work or energy as the result of a force of one gram-force acting through a distance of one meter, based on gravity.

Why convert gram-force meter to watt-hour?

Converting gram-force meter to watt-hour helps express legacy mechanical energy values in a standardized electrical energy unit for easier analysis and comparison.

Is the conversion affected by local gravity variations?

Yes, since the gram-force meter relies on standard gravity, differences in actual local gravity values can affect conversion accuracy.
