What are Gram-force and Newton

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system of units. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in a standard gravitational field. Simply put, 1 gram-force is equivalent to the weight of a gram mass under Earth's gravity. This unit is commonly used in various applications, including material testing and engineering, where small quantities of force need to be measured accurately.

Definition of Newton

The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). Newtons provide a standard measure of force, making it easier for scientists and engineers to communicate and apply force-related concepts across various fields such as physics, engineering, and material science.
