What is a kilogram-force centimeter used for?

It is used to express small mechanical work or energy, especially in older engineering contexts or when describing small torques in hobby servos and small motors.

Why convert kilogram-force centimeter to calorie (th)?

This conversion helps express mechanical energy in thermal energy units common in older calorimetry and thermochemical data, facilitating comparisons and legacy data interpretation.

Is calorie (th) still used in modern practice?

Calorie (th) is mostly of historical interest; the SI joule is preferred today, though calorie (th) appears in older scientific literature.
