What is the relationship between newton meter and erg?

One newton meter equals 10,000,000 erg, facilitating conversion between SI and CGS energy units.

Can this tool convert torque measurements?

No. Although newton meter is used for torque, this tool converts only energy values to erg.

Why convert energy units from newton meter to erg?

Converting to erg supports scientific fields that use CGS units, like astrophysics and classical mechanics, or to interpret historical data.
