Convert gram-force to newton
gram-force
Definition: Gram-force is a measure of force. For conversion purposes, its value is 0.00980665 times the reference unit, newton.
newton
Definition: The newton (symbol: N) is the SI (International System of Units) derived unit of force. It is defined as 1 kilogram·meter/second2.
History/origin: The unit newton is named after Isaac Newton for his contribution to classical mechanics – particularly his second law of motion, which states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force, and that this change in momentum occurs in the direction of the applied force.
Current use: As an SI derived unit of force, the newton is the preferred unit of force, and is widely used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics. In everyday use, units such as the pound-force are sometimes used in place of newtons in countries like the United States.
