What are Gram-force and Kilonewton

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force that represents the gravitational force exerted on one gram of mass. Specifically, one gram-force is equal to the force exerted by gravity on a one-gram mass at the Earth's surface, which is approximately 9.80665 millinewtons. Although not a standard unit in the International System of Units (SI), gram-force is frequently used in various engineering and scientific applications where small forces need to be measured accurately.

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force that is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is widely used in engineering and physics to measure large forces and loads. One kilonewton is approximately equal to the force exerted by a 100-kilogram mass under the influence of Earth's gravity. The kilonewton is part of the International System of Units (SI) and provides a convenient way to express forces in a more manageable numerical form, especially in construction, structural engineering, and material science.
