Gram-force is a unit of force defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the surface. It equates to the amount of force applied when a one-gram mass is subjected to the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared.
Definition of NewtonA Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, one Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
