1 gram force equals___dyne.

(acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ )

Open in App

Solution

One gram force(gf) is the force due to gravity on a mass of 1 g.

one gram = 0.001 kg

Force due to gravity on one gram mass $= 0.001 \times 9.8 = 0.0098 N$

$1 n e w t o n = 10^{5} d y n e$

So, 1gram force (1gf) $= 0.0098 \times 10^{5}$

$1 g f = 980 d y n e$
