What are Gram-force and Kilonewton

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the force exerted by one gram of mass in a gravitational field with a standard acceleration of 9.80665 m/s². The gram-force is commonly used in various scientific and engineering applications where small force measurements are required. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a preferred unit in educational settings and specific industries.

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). One kilonewton is equal to 1,000 newtons and is commonly used to quantify force in engineering and physics. This unit is particularly prevalent in structural engineering, where it helps to describe loads and forces in construction projects. Its larger scale compared to the newton makes it useful for expressing significant forces in a more manageable numerical format.
