What are Kilogram-force and Hectopoise

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force represents a unit of force that is based on the gravitational pull on a kilogram of mass. It is widely used in engineering and physics to quantify force in mechanical systems. The kilogram-force is equivalent to the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity of 9.80665 m/s². Consequently, it provides a straightforward method for relating mass and force, particularly in applications where gravitational forces play a significant role. Although not part of the International System of Units (SI), it remains popular in specific fields for its practical advantages.

Definition of Hectopoise

Hectopoise serves as a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is equivalent to 100 poise and is commonly used to describe the flow characteristics of fluids. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation, and the hectopoise unit helps in quantifying this resistance. For instance, in industries dealing with lubricants, paints, or any fluid materials, understanding their viscosity is crucial for processing and application. Though less common than the SI unit pascal-second, hectopoise remains relevant in specific scientific and industrial contexts.
