Unit Definitions
What is a Newton-Centimeter (N·cm)?
A Newton-Centimeter (N·cm) is a metric unit of torque, representing the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History
The Newton is named after Sir Isaac Newton, who made significant contributions to physics and mathematics in the 17th century. The centimeter is a common metric unit that has been used since the introduction of the metric system in the late 18th century.
Current Use
Today, N·cm is commonly used in engineering, physics, and mechanics to describe torque specifications in various applications.

A Dyne Centimeter (dyn·cm) is a CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of torque, defined as the torque resulting from a force of one dyne applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History
The dyne was introduced in the 19th century as part of the CGS system, which was widely used in scientific contexts before the adoption of the SI system. Dyne is a unit derived from Newton, where 1 Newton equals 100,000 dynes.
Current Use
Dyne-Centimeters are primarily used in fields that continue to use CGS units, such as certain areas of physics and engineering, especially in older literature or specific applications.
