difference between absolute units of force and gravitational force

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in absolute system the force of gravity is neglected ,but as the name gravitational system suggests that gravity is the main factor here . so the main difference is that in absolute system gravity does not act ,but in gravitational system gravity has a great influence .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the absolute units of force

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1N=1Kg*1m/1sec²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what is the gravitional units of force

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it means that Si unit and absolute unit of force is same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

W=m.g in both the systems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean Si unit and absolute unit of force is same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, There is no conceptual difference,the physics is exactly the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can absolute units can be taken in ideal conditions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hlp pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean about ideal condition ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where no external force acts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

however , the gravitational force will be acting on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Absolute unit of force is reported in Newtons(N) and is equal to F=ma Gravitational unit of force is used when the force applied is gravity. Its unit is kilogram force (kgf). It is numerically equal to the mass of the object (in case the force is gravity which is almost everytime the case) F=m The weighing scale reads off our weight (force) in kgf. So, if your weight is read off as 60. It means your mass is 60kg. Your weight in gravitational unit is 60 kgf and ur wt in absolute unit is 600N
