Question 1

What is gram-force?

Accepted Answer

Gram-force (gf) is the force exerted by gravity on one gram of mass. 1 gf = 9.80665 mN = 0.00980665 N.

Question 2

How do you convert gram-force to millinewtons?

Accepted Answer

Multiply gf by 9.80665. Example: 100 gf = 100 × 9.80665 = 980.665 mN.

Question 3

What's the difference between force and pressure?

Accepted Answer

Force (newtons) is a push or pull. Pressure (pascals) is force per unit area. Same force over smaller area = higher pressure.

Question 4

Why do we need different force units?

Accepted Answer

Newtons are SI standard. Pounds-force connects to everyday weight. Dynes (CGS) are used in some scientific fields. Each suits different applications.
