Open in App
Solution

Gravitational unit force:

  1. The gravitational unit force is basically known as the force experienced by a body of unit mass of 1kg, by the gravitation due to Earth.
  2. The kilogram-force i.e Kgf is known as the gravitational unit of force.
  3. Hence, the force exerted by the earth on a body of mass of 1kg is regarded as 1Kgf.
  4. Also, we know,
    Force=mass×accelerationF=m×gF=1×9.8kgm/s2F=9.8N
  5. This refers that one unit of Kgf is equivalent to 9.8N Force.

Hence, the gravitational unit of force is Kgf.
