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.



Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]


This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).



  • It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.



  • It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.



  • In basic terms:



1 lbf\cdotpft/s2=force×distance÷time21 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 = \text{force} \times \text{distance} \div \text{time}^2

  • Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:



1 lbf\cdotpft/s21.35582 N\cdotpm/s21 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 \approx 1.35582 \text{ N·m/s}^2

  • Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
