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

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

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

            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)
