What are Newton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton (N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. One Newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is fundamental in physics and engineering, providing a measure of the amount of force applied to an object. Understanding the Newton is essential for anyone studying or working within the fields of physics, engineering, or any discipline involving forces.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force defined as the force exerted by gravity on one kilogram of mass. It is equal to 9.80665 Newtons, based on the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. The concept of kilogram-force originates from the gravitational metric system, where force was directly related to mass. While not commonly used in modern scientific contexts, the kilogram-force is still employed in certain engineering fields and applications, especially where traditional metric units have been historically applied. Understanding kilogram-force is useful for interpreting older technical documents and specifications.
