Question 1

What is milligram-force?

Accepted Answer

Milligram-force (mgf) is the gravitational force on 1 mg. 1 mgf = 9.80665 μN ≈ 9.81 micronewtons.

Question 2

Where is milligram-force used?

Accepted Answer

Precision balances, microfluidics, insect locomotion studies, and delicate fiber testing.

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.
