What is a dyne centimeter?

A dyne centimeter is a CGS unit of torque defined as the moment from a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly at one centimetre from a pivot, equal to 1×10⁻⁷ newton meter.

How is a gram-force meter defined?

A gram-force meter is a non-SI torque unit equal to the moment produced by one gram-force applied at one meter from a pivot, corresponding to 0.00980665 newton meters.

Why convert dyne centimeters to gram-force meters?

Conversion allows comparison and calibration of small torque values from legacy CGS units into gravitational metric units used in modern instruments and quality control.
