What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a gravitational metric unit of energy representing work done by one kilogram-force through one meter displacement; a historical non-SI unit.

What does a watt-hour measure?

A watt-hour quantifies energy transfer equivalent to one watt of power sustained for one hour, commonly used in electrical energy contexts.

Why convert kilogram-force meters to watt-hours?

Conversion helps translate historical energy readings into modern electrical units for better comparison and integration with current energy data.
