What are Inch and Gram-force

Definition of Inch

An inch, a unit of length in the imperial and US customary measurement systems, is precisely defined as 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. Historically, the inch was based on the width of a human thumb, but it has been standardized over time. It is widely used in various applications, from measuring small objects to dimensions in construction. The inch remains a critical unit in countries like the United States, despite the global trend towards the metric system.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. One gram-force is the force exerted by one gram of mass in the standard gravitational field, which is defined as 9.80665 meters per second squared. In other words, 1 gf equals 0.00980665 Newtons. This unit is used in various fields such as physics and engineering to measure smaller forces. Despite the prevalence of the Newton in the International System of Units (SI), gram-force remains a useful unit for specific scientific and engineering applications.
