WHAT DOES ERG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Erg

An erg is a unit of energy and mechanical work equal to 10−7 joules. It originated in the centimetre–gram–second system of units, symbol "erg". It is not an SI unit. An erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS base units, it is equal to one gram centimeter-squared per second-squared. It is thus equal to 10−7 joules or 100 nanojoules in SI units. An erg is approximately the amount of work done by one common house fly performing one "push up", the leg-bending dip that brings its mouth to the surface on which it stands and back up. 1 erg = 10−7 J = 100 nJ 1 erg = 10−10sn·m = 100 psn·m = 100 picosthène-metres 1 erg = 624.15 GeV = 6.2415×1011 eV 1 erg = 1 dyne cm = 1 g·cm2/s2...
