A megajoule (MJ) is an SI derived unit of energy equal to one million joules, commonly used to measure energy such as work, heat, or electrical energy.

What does a gram-force meter represent?

A gram-force meter (gf*m) measures mechanical work done by a force of one gram-force acting over a distance of one meter, relying on standard gravity.

Why convert megajoules to gram-force meters?

This conversion helps compare modern energy units with legacy measurements, supports calibration of older instruments, and assists in engineering applications involving small mechanical forces.
