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

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.

Edit, corrected as per Erics suggestion.

hi Mike

From the Calc link:

1 Newton-Meters = 1.01972e4 Gram Centimeters
EQUATION: Gram-Centimeters = 1.01972e4 * Newton-Meters

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.

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.?
