What is a millijoule?

A millijoule (mJ) is an SI derived unit of energy equal to one thousandth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of work, heat, or electromagnetic energy.

What does gram-force centimeter measure?

Gram-force centimeter measures mechanical energy or work by the force exerted by one gram through a displacement of one centimeter; it is a non-SI unit of energy.

Why convert millijoules to gram-force centimeters?

Conversions between millijoules and gram-force centimeters are useful for expressing very small mechanical work or energy in precision instruments and legacy engineering specifications.
