What are Ounce-force and Centinewton

Definition of Ounce-force

Ounce-force (ozf) is a non-SI unit of force that represents the force exerted by one ounce of mass under standard gravity. It is commonly used in various engineering and mechanical applications to measure small forces. This unit is derived from the avoirdupois ounce, a unit of mass in the imperial system. Understanding ounce-force is essential for precise calculations in fields where minute forces play a critical role, such as in the design of delicate instruments and equipment.

Definition of Centinewton

Centinewton (cN) is a derived unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one hundredth (1/100) of a newton. It is often used in scientific and engineering contexts where smaller magnitudes of force need to be measured with high precision. The newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the SI unit for force and is widely used in physics and engineering. The centinewton provides a more convenient unit for measuring smaller forces without resorting to fractional newtons.
