What are Kilocalorie and Kilogram-force

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, symbolized as kcal, is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It's commonly used in the field of nutrition to express the energy content of food.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, or kgf, is a unit of force. It represents the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the surface of the Earth. This equates to the gravitational force that acts on a one-kilogram mass, causing an acceleration of approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared.
