Ounce-Force [ozf]


Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.



  • Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:



1 ozf=116 lbf0.278 newtons1 \text{ ozf} = \frac{1}{16} \text{ lbf} \approx 0.278 \text{ newtons}

  • Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.



  • It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.




Decinewton [dN]


Decinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 decinewton (dN) equals 10110^{-1} newtons (0.1 newton).



  • It is used to measure small forces, especially in contexts where forces less than one newton need to be expressed conveniently.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 dN=0.1 N1 \text{ dN} = 0.1 \text{ N}

Decinewtons help quantify forces smaller than a newton but larger than centinewtons.
