About these units

Gram-Force

Gram-force (gf) is the force exerted by the weight of one gram under standard gravity. It’s a small unit of force often used in applications like measuring the tension of lightweight objects or precision instruments. Although it’s not an SI unit, gram-force provides an intuitive way to represent small forces.

Centinewtons

A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.
