Re: gm-cm to oz/inches conversion?

Torque is the product of the perpendicular component of a force and
the distance from the pivot point of a lever that the force acts on.
The SI unit for this is the Nm (Newton*meter). In practice the force
is often substituted by a weight measurement (with the assumption of
the weight being measured under normal gravity on earth). The
conversion factor for this is: N=kg*9.81m/s^2
Anyway, you were asking for a simple conversion.
One (american) ounce is close to 28.35gram and one inch is exactly
2.54cm. So One ounze*inch is the same as 28.35gram * 2.54cm or 72g*cm.
So all you have to do is to divide the g*cm number given in the
catalog by 72 to get inch*oz.
