What is a kilogram-force centimeter?

It is a non-SI energy unit representing the work done by a force of one kilogram-force acting over one centimeter.

How do I convert kilogram-force centimeters to kilogram-force meters?

Multiply the value in kilogram-force centimeters by 0.01 to get the equivalent value in kilogram-force meters.

Why are these units still used if they are non-SI?

They persist in legacy engineering contexts and historical data where force is measured in kilogram-force rather than newtons.
