What are Gram-force and Petanewton

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the force exerted by one gram of mass under the influence of standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). Gram-force is commonly used in fields where small forces are measured, such as in material sciences and engineering. One gram-force is equivalent to 0.00980665 newtons. Understanding gram-force is crucial for precise force measurements and conversions in various scientific and industrial applications.

Definition of Petanewton

Petanewton (PN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) and is equal to 10^15 newtons. It is an extremely large unit typically used in contexts involving astronomical or cosmic forces, such as the gravitational forces between celestial bodies. The petanewton is not commonly used in everyday measurements due to its magnitude but is essential in scientific fields that deal with vast scales of force. Its understanding is crucial for advanced studies in physics and astronomy.
