What does one newton meter represent?

One newton meter is the torque produced by a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a lever arm length of one meter.

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

Gram-force centimeters are ideal for specifying very small torques in fields like watchmaking, miniature robotics, and precision electronic devices.

Are there any drawbacks to using gram-force centimeters?

Yes, since gram-force centimeters are non-SI units, their use can introduce slight inconsistencies when combined with SI-based measurements.

How to Convert Newton meter [N*m] to Gram-force centimeter
