What are Centinewton and Gram-force

Definition of Centinewton

A centinewton (cN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one-hundredth of a newton. The newton measures the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a centinewton represents a smaller force, which is often used in applications requiring finer precision. Engineers, scientists, and technicians frequently use this unit to measure subtle forces in various fields such as material science, engineering, and physics.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf), also known as gram-weight, is a unit of force defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in a standard gravitational field. It is a non-SI unit but is still commonly used in many applications, particularly where small forces are involved. One gram-force is approximately equal to 0.0098 newtons. This unit is often utilized in engineering, physics, and various industries to measure weight and force, especially in contexts where using larger units like newtons would be impractical.
