Gram-Force Centimeter
Gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force centimeter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force centimeter is rarely used, having been largely replaced by SI units such as the newton meter (N·m) for torque measurements, but it may still appear in specialized or legacy applications.
Btu (It)
The Btu (IT) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on the International Table (IT) standards.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit, adapted for international standards to provide a consistent measurement of heat energy, particularly in engineering and thermodynamics contexts.
Current Use
The Btu (IT) is primarily used in the energy industry, including heating, cooling, and power generation, to quantify energy content and efficiency in systems adhering to international standards.
