Erg To Kilogram Force Meter (Erg To Kgf?M) Converter

The Erg To Kilogram Force Meter (Erg To Kgf·m) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert energy and torque measurements between two different units: ergs and kilogram-force meters.

An erg is a unit of energy commonly used in physics, especially in the fields of mechanics and thermodynamics. One erg is defined as the amount of work done when a force of one dyne moves an object one centimeter. In simple terms, 1 erg equals 1×10^-7 joules.

A kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force. It measures how much force (in kilogram-force) is applied at a distance (in meters) from a pivot point. One kilogram-force is the force exerted by gravity on a one-kilogram mass, approximately equal to 9.80665 newtons.

The conversion between ergs and kilogram-force meters involves understanding their relationship through energy and force. To convert ergs to kgf·m, you can use the following formula:

1 erg = 1×10^-7 joules

Since 1 joule equals 0.10197 kgf·m, the conversion formula becomes:

Energy in kgf·m = Energy in ergs × 1×10^-7 × 0.10197

This tool automates these calculations, allowing you to quickly convert between ergs and kilogram-force meters without needing to remember complex formulas. Simply input your value in one unit, and the converter will display the equivalent measurement in the other unit.
