What is a gram-force meter?

A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a non-SI unit of energy representing work done by a force of one gram-force acting through one meter.

How does watt-second relate to joule?

A watt-second (W·s) is dimensionally identical to the joule; 1 W·s equals 1 joule.

Why convert from gram-force meter to watt-second?

Conversion helps standardize legacy mechanical energy data into SI units for analysis, calibration, and integration with modern measurements.
