Default Torque Unit convertion

how do we convert for Torque unit Nm (Netwon meter) to g-cm?
any example?
is it just devided by 10000?

Those units don't quite compute.
Newton has units of force, and meter has units of length
gram has units of mass, cm has units of length

The unit of force in the cgs system is the dyne. The unit of torque in the cgs system is the dyne centimeter.

Well to get from Newton Meters to Kilogram Meters we have to divide by gravity. 9.81m/s/s

To get from Kilograms to grams we have to multiply by 1000.

To get from Meters to CentiMeters we have to multiply by 100.

Therefore, to go from Nm to g-cm, we *1000*100/9.81.

So, 1Nm = 10190 g cm.

Mike.
Edit, corrected as per Erics suggestion.

hi Mike

From the Calc link:

Quote:
1 Newton-Meters = 1.01972e4 Gram Centimeters
EQUATION: Gram-Centimeters = 1.01972e4 * Newton-Meters
Quote:
Therefore, to go from Nm to g-cm, we *1000*10/9.81.
So, 1Nm = 1019 g cm.

Hi Eric,

Maybe you can spot where I went wrong. I can't. But there again it could be the dozen stubbies taking effect.

Edit, got it, meters to cm = *100 Doh. I'll edit upstairs.

Mike.

Hi Mike,
I used the calculator in the link above.

got: 1 Newton-Meters = 1.01972e4 Gram Centimeters

tried the calc in reverse using 1019g-m, get 0.09999 N-n.???

Isnt it 100cm/mtr.?
