What are Pound-force and Gram-force

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and other countries that employ the Imperial system. It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one pound at the Earth's surface. Specifically, one pound-force is equivalent to approximately 4.44822 Newtons. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to describe forces in mechanical systems, including torque and pressure. Understanding pound-force is crucial for accurate calculations in various applications, from automotive engineering to structural analysis.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force in the metric system, representing the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one gram. Specifically, one gram-force is equal to 0.00980665 Newtons. This unit is often used in fields such as physics and engineering to describe small forces with precision. Gram-force is particularly useful when dealing with delicate measurements, such as in material science or micro-mechanical systems. Understanding gram-force allows for accurate and consistent force calculations in scientific and technical applications.
