Gram-Force [gf]


The gram-force (gf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity.



  • It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 gram under the acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 m/s²).



  • Mathematically:



1 gf=1 g×9.80665 m/s2=9.80665×103 N=0.00980665 N1 \text{ gf} = 1 \text{ g} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N} = 0.00980665 \text{ N}

  • Although not an SI unit, gram-force is used in some fields like engineering and material science for small force measurements.



Example: The force due to a 500 g mass is 500 gf, which is approximately 4.9 newtons.

Micronewton [µN]


Micronewton is a very small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 micronewton (µN) equals 10610^{-6} newtons (0.000001 newton).



  • It is used to measure extremely small forces in fields like microelectronics, nanotechnology, and sensitive scientific experiments.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 µN=0.000001 N1 \text{ µN} = 0.000001 \text{ N}

Micronewtons allow precise quantification of tiny forces that are beyond the sensitivity of larger units like millinewtons.
