What does one newton centimeter represent?

One newton centimeter is the torque produced by a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to a lever arm of one centimetre.

When should I use gram-force centimeters instead of newton centimeters?

Gram-force centimeters are often used in watchmaking and miniature robotics where very small torques in traditional non-SI units are preferred.

Can I use this converter for scientific torque measurements?

While this converter provides useful conversions, gram-force centimeter being a non-SI unit may not be suitable for precise scientific work requiring SI standards.
