About these units
Ounce-force (ozf)
- Definition
- An ounce-force (ozf) is the gravitational force on one ounce of mass, about 0.278 newtons.
- History
- It is the small-force counterpart of the pound-force.
- Current use
- Ounce-force measures small forces such as switch actuation and spring tension.
Newton (N)
- Definition
- The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, the force that accelerates one kilogram at one meter per second squared.
- History
- Named after Isaac Newton, it was adopted as the SI force unit in 1948.
- Current use
- Newtons measure force, weight, and thrust throughout physics and engineering.
