How to Convert Gram-Force Meter to Rydberg Constant
1 gf*m = 4.49872311433032e+15 Ry
Example: convert 15 gf*m to Ry:
15 gf*m = 15 × 4.49872311433032e+15 Ry = 6.74808467149548e+16 Ry

Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
Rydberg Constant
The Rydberg constant (Ry) is a physical constant that represents the highest wavenumber (inverse wavelength) of any photon in the hydrogen atom's emission spectrum, used to calculate spectral lines.
History/Origin
Named after the Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg, the Rydberg constant was introduced in the late 19th century as part of Rydberg's formula to describe the spectral lines of hydrogen, significantly advancing atomic physics.
Current Use
The Rydberg constant is used in quantum physics and spectroscopy to determine energy levels of hydrogen and other hydrogen-like atoms, and in calculations involving atomic spectra and quantum mechanics.
