What is a gram-force centimeter?

A gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a torque unit representing the moment generated by one gram-force acting perpendicularly at a lever arm of one centimeter.

What does the dyne millimeter unit measure?

The dyne millimeter (dyn·mm) measures torque as the rotational moment caused by one dyne force acting at a one millimeter lever arm, derived from the cgs system.
