Only 1000g of force? surely it must be more

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Might be 1000G but that seems excessive

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I looked it up, it's actually in excess of 1,000G(-forces), which is kinda fucking insane.

I suppose the head is probably quite light and 1000g is actually a lot. G's as a unit would be more helpful here

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well G's only make sense grams are not a unit of force

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have often seen kg-force to mean the weight component only, assuming gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

I have only ever seen mass-force being ised by americans.

I've also seen it used in usability design, where it is helpful to provide users relatable information (e.g apply equivalent force to the weight of a 1kg bag)
