What are Gram-force and Newton

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.

A 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.

History of Gram-force and Newton

The conversion from Gram-force per square centimeter to Newton per square centimeter has its roots in the transition from the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system to the SI (International System of Units). This shift was pivotal in standardizing measurements across scientific disciplines and industries worldwide, ensuring consistency and precision in force calculations.
