Converting from Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf) to Meter-Gram Force (m g) in Torque

What is Foot-Pound Force (ft lbf)

Foot-pound force (ft lbf) is a unit of torque commonly used in the imperial system. It represents the amount of rotational force applied when a force of one pound is exerted at a distance of one foot from a pivot point.

What is Meter-Gram Force (m g)

Meter-gram force (m g) is a unit of torque in the metric system. It denotes the torque produced when a force of one gram is applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
