Convert kilogram force meter to j
Kilogram-Force Meter
The kilogram-force metre (kgf·m) is a unit of energy equal to the work performed by a force of one kilogram-force through a distance of one metre, equivalent to exactly 9.80665 joules. It was widely used in European and Russian engineering practice before the universal adoption of SI units. The kilogram-force metre is also used as a unit of torque and continues to appear in legacy machinery specifications and older technical standards.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
