Selected category: force.
Definition and details for gram force:
Gram force (gf) is a unit of force equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one gram of mass by a 9.80665 m/s2 gravitational field (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth). One gram force is by definition equal to 0.00980665 newtons, or 0.0022046226 pounds of force in the traditional English system.
Definition and details for centinewton:
Centinewton (cN) is a metric unit of force equal to 0,01 newtons, or 1 kilodyne, or about 1.019 72 gf. This unit is used in engineering as a substitute for the gram of force (gf), since it's nearly equal to it.
