  • note: The unit newton x metre (Nm) of moment of force or torque is not written as joule(J)
  • The CGS unit of moment of force is dyne x cm
  • If force is measured in gravitational unt, then the unit of force in SI unit is kgf m and in CGS unit is gf cm
  • 1 Nm = 10^5 dyne x 10^2 cm = 10^7 dyne cm
  • 1 kgf m = 9.8 N m
    1 gf cm = 980 dyne cm
  • On decreasing the distance of the applied force from the point of rotation, the magnitude of force increases
