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.
Horsepower Hour
A horsepower hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy equivalent to one horsepower of power sustained over one hour of time.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour originated from the traditional unit of horsepower used to quantify engine power, combined with the hour to measure energy consumption or production over time. It has been used primarily in engineering and energy industries to express energy usage or capacity.
Current Use
Today, the horsepower hour is rarely used in practical applications, having been largely replaced by the joule and other SI units. However, it may still be referenced in historical data, legacy systems, or specific industries dealing with older measurement standards within the energy and mechanical sectors.
