Why is are some motor torques listed in Kg*cm instead of a force*distance?
<< < (3/4) > >>
helius:
Joules are Nm by the definition of work.

Mea culpa.

(I just used the dots for clarity.)
TimFox:
My mnemonic for converting force values is to remember that a kilogram mass weighs 9.8 Newtons or 2.2 pounds av.

Its great to live where it is done right. =)
den:
Since the unit conversion question already has been answered, I'll just point out that you calculations are somewhere wrong. The moment of inertia should be 1000 times as much (it's a big and heavy plate actually) and the resulting torque is twice as much: 0.22 Nm.  ;)
