What is a microjoule?

A microjoule (µJ) is one millionth of a joule and measures very small amounts of energy in scientific and engineering applications.

Why use gram-force centimeter for energy?

Gram-force centimeter quantifies small mechanical work or potential energy, often in precision instruments like small springs and miniature motors.

Is gram-force centimeter an SI unit?

No, gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit and may need conversion to SI units for some engineering or scientific standards.
