What are Gram-force and Pound-force

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 standard gravitational field, which is approximately equal to 9.80665 meters per second squared. Essentially, one gram-force is the force required to accelerate a one-gram mass by 9.80665 cm/s². Gram-force is commonly used in engineering and physics to measure small forces, particularly in applications where precision is crucial.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, also known as the Imperial system. It represents the force exerted by a one-pound mass in a standard gravitational field, which is approximately equal to 32.174 feet per second squared. One pound-force is the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass by 32.174 ft/s². Pound-force is widely used in engineering and physics, especially in the United States, to measure larger forces in various applications.
