What are Kilogram-force and Dyne

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a gravitational metric unit of force. It represents the force exerted by a kilogram of mass under standard gravity, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to quantify force, especially in contexts where gravitational force impacts objects. Unlike the Newton, which is the SI unit of force, kilogram-force is a non-SI unit but remains relevant in various applications, particularly in mechanical and civil engineering, where it provides a practical measure of force relative to mass and gravity.

Definition of Dyne

The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. Defined as the force required to accelerate a one-gram mass by one centimeter per second squared, it serves as a smaller and more precise unit compared to the Newton, which is part of the SI system. The dyne is widely used in physics and engineering, especially in contexts involving small forces or precise measurements, such as surface tension or molecular interactions. This unit provides a convenient means of expressing forces in systems where the CGS units are preferred.
