What is a kilopond meter?

A kilopond meter is a unit of work or energy equal to the work done by a force of one kilopond acting through one meter, exactly equivalent to 9.80665 joules.

What does gram-force centimeter measure?

Gram-force centimeter quantifies the work or energy done by a constant force of one gram-force acting over one centimeter distance.

Why convert kilopond meters to gram-force centimeters?

Users convert these units to express larger mechanical work values in much smaller, precise units suitable for delicate instruments or historical data analysis.
