Unit Definitions
What is a Dyne Centimeter (dyn·cm)?
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of torque in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, representing the moment of force about a pivot point.
History
The dyne is derived from Newton's second law of motion, named after the Greek word for 'force'. It has been used since the early 20th century in various scientific fields.
Current Use
Today, dyne centimeters are primarily used in physics and engineering where CGS units are preferred for certain calculations.

A kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque in the metric system, defined as the torque resulting from a force of one kilogram acting at a distance of one centimeter.
History
The kilogram-force unit originated in the early 19th century as a measure of force, and it eventually became a standard unit for torque in engineering applications.
Current Use
Kilogram-force centimeters are commonly used in mechanical engineering and design, particularly in industries where metric units are standard.
