About these units

Newtons

A newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in honor of his work in physics, particularly his second law of motion. One newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newtons are widely used to measure forces in engineering, mechanics, and daily life, such as the force you exert when pushing a door.

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.
