What are Gram-force and Newton

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force, symbolized as gf, is a unit of force where one gram-force is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in Earth's gravitational field. It is a non-SI unit and is part of the gravitational metric system. One gram-force is equivalent to approximately 0.0098 newtons. This unit is often used in fields like material science and engineering to measure small forces easily and effectively.

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as N, is the SI unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics. One Newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is fundamental in physics and engineering, providing a standard measure for force that can be applied across various scientific disciplines.
