Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
Gram-Force
Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in standard gravity, approximately equal to 0.00980665 newtons.
History/Origin
The gram-force originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, used to express forces in terms of grams and centimeters. It was commonly used in physics and engineering before the adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Gram-force is now largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit newton (N) in scientific and technical contexts. However, it may still be used in some engineering fields, calibration, and for illustrative purposes in educational settings.
